On HBO OnDemand: “Maradona, The Hand of God”

Filed under: Argentina, Barcelona, Drunk History, Italy, Movies

If you have HBO OnDemand, “Maradona, The Hand of God” is on this month.  Marco Leonardi is very moving as Maradona, in a story about one of the greatest players ever, who came from desperate beginnings but possessed an outrageous talent, and who always struggled with the angels and bitter demons on his shoulder.  Lots of use of real footage.  It gets pretty dark.  Filmed in Buenos Aires and Napoli, with subtitles.  Recomended.
