Juan Minujín transformed perfectly into the skin of, Guillermo Coppola, to the point where I was convinced that it was the real fast talking, wild and sassy sport agent who had the gift of the gab and everyone at his beck and call, all due to the power of the then super football star, Diego Maradona.
An outrageous story that will seem farfetched, but that is the exhilarating beauty of it all. From Coppola's dealings with the Vatican to Berlusconi, and the games played to hide Maradona's infidelity (and even Coppola's own misgivings), are all brought to light for our squirming entertainment!
The big bonus is the technical devices used to tell the fast moving story (that matches Coppola's hectic lifestyle). It borrows from Adam McKay's Winning Time series, mixing up the film styles and formats. It works perfectly on this series due to the 1980s and 90s' era it was set in, and the use of archival footage involving Maradona is a plus.
