Diego and Maradona
6 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
'The price was just too high'. Diego Maradona, labelled the legend, god, hero and cheat in his lifetime -- is a man after all. The brain behind Senna and Amy -- Asif Kapadia's portrayal of a footballing genius' fall from grace, looks authentic and honest. Diego, for all his craft on the pitch, couldn't control his life off it. The Argentinian created an image, separate from his own, to deal with attention of the world. That part, eventually, became dominant, causing his downfall. Kapadia stitched together several unseen footage to show Diego's life exceptionally well. This is a must-watch.
