With the second I would not do, even one step.” The sample and its double ” in the words of one who is his faithful friend, the athletic trainer Fernando Signorini.

God” signed by Oscar-winning director Asif Kapadia, preview of on Monday at the cinema Modern to 20.30 and then in Italian cinemas for only three days, from 23 to 25 September. One hundred and thirty minutes without a fall, intense, and vibrant as the life of the star player of the football, dedicated especially to his neapolitan years.
Maradona and Naples, an inseparable union with all its contradictions, its different reality, the victories and the defeats, the unpredictable curves of a life that a novelist would not have been able to imagine so shocking and continually changing. The goals and the relationships in the scent of the camorra. The badges and the slavery of the drug. Kapadia tells the story of “the Republic” the Maradona of naples.
