'Diego Maradona' by Asif Kapadia

***UPDATE***: The Twitter account Diego Maradona Movie has released the poster and a new trailer of the film directed by Asif Kapadia and that closes the Oscar-winning trilogy by including two other biographical documentaries: SENNA and AMY respectively on the lives of Brazilian Formula One champion Ayrton Senna and British singer Amy Winehouse.

"Diego Maradona" is the new documentary directed by the British filmmaker Asif Kapadia, Oscar winner for "Amy" in 2016, dedicated to Diego Armando Maradona.

This new project was created by putting together over 500 hours of unreleased videos that come directly from the personal archive of Pibe de Oro.

Produced by the Academy Award and by BAFTA - the winning team that made the documentaries on Ayrton Senna and Amy Winehouse, James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin - the other two films of the trilogy also directed by Kapadia - the movie will be presented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival 2019 and will be in the British theatres starting from June 14th, in the Italian ones starting from September 23th to 25th.

The first teaser trailer of the documentary was released online and sees Maradona going to a press room full of journalists and photographers outside the San Paolo Stadium after his presentation in front of 80,000 people and with the fans that immediately made him feel that unconditional affection that will be one of the distinctive features of Diego's adventure with the Napoli jersey.

The film tells Diego's story during his years in Naples at the turn of the late 80s and early 90s, during which Diego was everything and its opposite: the two Scudetti, the Uefa Cup but also the difficulties of his private life.
