Diego Maradona

Argentina’s most infamous sporting son, Diego Maradona became a bonafide football superstar when he led Naples to their first-ever title win in 1987. But fame came with a price. Both on and off the pitch, the charismatic striker’s exploits made notorious tabloid headlines: from the contested “Hand of God” goal against England, to his indulgent hedonism and late-life struggles with addiction. Through brilliantly assembled archival footage, Oscar-winning virtuoso Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy) brings the infamous athlete into sharp focus in a riveting tale of rags and riches, saints and sinners, injury and victory, all played out against the backdrop of the Italian city that came to embody his divided spirit.
