In 1984, Diego Maradona left Barcelona. The Argentinian footballing genius had endured a difficult time at the Spanish club, and eyebrows were raised when he made his next move: Napoli. The Italian team were no big shots like Juventus or AC Milan. Rumours spread around the city that Maradona was coming, but no one could quite believe it. Until it happened. “He was something unbelievable for our season,” remembers Paolo Sorrentino. “For the first time arrived something that was joy.”
The Italian director of the Oscar-winning The Great Beauty and Il Divo was just 14 years old when Maradona fever swept his home city of Naples in July of that year. “He was definitely a symbol of hope for people, for the city,” says Sorrentino, puffing away on a small cigar as Total Film sits with him on a damp balcony in London’s Corinthia Hotel. Over the next few seasons, Maradona would deliver on that hope, winning Napoli its first ever Serie A title and becoming an instant icon.
Perhaps it was only a matter of time until Sorrentino would revisit these halcyon days for what is easily his most personal film yet: The Hand Of God. “I was always very shy about this movie,” he admits. “I had [it] in my mind for many years. Actually, I had many notes… but I was afraid to write.” It’s understandable. While Maradona’s exuberant arrival creates a backbone for the film’s first act, The Hand Of God is about so much more: religion, sexual awakening, family, filmmaking, and even tragedy.
