Diego Maradona

The movie takes through Maradona life journey and clearly shows the evolution of the player, person and father..... a life lesson....once you are popular the world is behind you but once you fall only the close ones remain...

A fascinating documentary dealing with the various facets of Diego Maradona who is undoubtedly an emblematic figure of the soccer world, like Pelé, Lionel Messi, Johan Cruijff, Franz Beckenbauer or (I'm French!) Michel Platini. We may see again, with an indescribable pleasure, the phenomenal ascent of this genius then the glory, in the 80s, with the Argentine victory at the World Cup organized by the Mexicans in 1986 and the very first victory of the Neapolitans in the Italian Serie A in 1987. Then, we sadly witness his descent into hell and the Italian ingratitude as sudden as pathetic. A sober and synthetic work about the extra-ordinary life of Diego Maradona.

An absolute masterpiece of unseen footage, compiled to make a brilliant and heartbreaking story of Maradona's troubled life!

If you like football, watch this documentary. Diego Armando Maradona is one of (and for me) the best footballer of all time. In this documentary you'll see his moments in the spotlight and the dramatic things that happened behind the scene. A beautiful and powerful documentary.

As a footballer, he was in a different category altogether. So full of skill and passion... capable of miracles like taking a mediocre team to the pinnacle.

As a person, impossible not to relate too and ultimately to love. The story of Elvis Presley, Morrison, Janis and many others who shone very brigtly at a huge cost.

The film is excellent and helped me understand this very complex character. Highly recommended.
