Kapadia does not judge or take sides but skilfully and respectfully separates Diego from Maradona, an ‘invented personality’, clearly explaining the difference between the two while ultimately establishing that Maradona in the midst of a career that became larger than life, had to at least temporarily abandon Diego, the man, so as to cope with the pressure, the media hype, the multitudes of fans in Naples and worldwide, and perform at his best. Chartering Diego Armando Maradona’s life and career, the film moves from one event and high (and low) light to another, gaining speed as we get to know the footballer both as a man with many needs, and a legend, untouchable, unbeatable, a national and international hero (and, granted, anti-hero). The documentary stands firm in the belief that ‘Life is not what we do, it is about how we do it’.
LA STORIA DI DIEGO A NAPOLI ERA LA STORIA DELLA SUA VITA
