Good if incomplete doc
21 October 2020
Good doc on the life of Maradona, one of the best football players ever. It is told only through archival footage, making it an incredible ride through the star's best years. It's amazing what the director managed to pull off, because it must not be easy to tell a story using only archival footage, but Asif Kapadia did just that and he managed to keep it interesting for the duration of the doc. It does have its disadvantages because sometimes it feels a bit incomplete, focusing mainly on the Naples years there are many important facts that are barely if ever mentioned, like the tumultuous years in Barcelona, or the DQ in the 94 World Cup. Maybe the footage wasn't good enough to make it in the film, maybe it was a creative decision to cut on time, but it does feel incomplete. Nevertheless any football fan will love this movie.
