The Hand of God (2021)

Emerging from the deeply personal realm of the acclaimed writer and director, Paolo Sorrentino, The Hand of God paints a poignant portrait of Fabietto Schisa, a young boy navigating his way through the turbulence of 1980s Naples. In a city alive with fervor and chaos, Fabietto's life is a symphony of unexpected delights and despair, a rhythm set by the hand of fate itself. Among the joyful surprises, the arrival of the football deity, Diego Maradona, sparks a beacon of hope in the city's landscape. However, the light of triumph casts shadows of tragedy, as an unforeseen calamity also finds its way into Fabietto's world, braiding strands of joy and sorrow into the fabric of his existence. In this gripping narrative, Sorrentino delicately weaves themes of love, loss, sports, and cinema, crafting a tale that echoes his own heartfelt connection to his hometown. The Hand of God is more than a story; it is Sorrentino's most intimate confession yet. It's a testament to the unpredictable dance of life, where happiness and pain are intertwined, and where the future is a tapestry woven by the mysterious threads of fate and family.
