Diego Maradona

This is the last film in Asif Kapadia’s trilogy about fame, talent and destructive forces. This time it is one of the greatest football stars of all time that is portrayed – DIEGO MARADONA. His adventurous path to the top, and his cruel fall. The film is part of HUMAN’s Asif Kapadia retrospective.

Asif Kapadia will be present for a Q&A at the screening.

Maradona arrives in Naples on July 5, 1984 and sets the record for the most expensive transfer in the history of football. He leads Napoli to its first title ever, ensuring that the team and the city get a real boost. He is Maradona. He is God in the devil’s city. This is the wild and unforgettable story of a truly unique talent – the story of the man, the rebel, the hero and the god that is Maradona. A story of honor, despair and betrayal, of corruption and – finally – salvation.
