Digital. 15. dates to choose from Courtesy of Altitude Entertainment (see pull-out calendar) The man and myth of Maradona is explored in this new documentary by Academy award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy) In July 1984, Argentine football superstar Diego Maradona arrived in Naples to play for the ailing football giant SSC Napoli. The world’s most celebrated football genius and one of the most dysfunctional cities in Europe were a perfect match for each other, and for seven years all hell broke loose. Maradona became an almost god-like figure, worshipped by the Italians for elevating the Napoli team through the football ranks. Constructed from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive, Asif Kapadia’s latest documentary deftly explores the complicated dynamic between talent and fame, artistry and performance, Diego the man and Maradona the icon.

Dir Nicolas Roeg. for you to enjoy, with plenty of With Donald Sutherland, Julie Christie, screening dates to choose from Hilary Mason, Clelia Matania. 110min. Digital. 15. A STUDIOCANAL release (see pull-out calendar) Roeg’s dazzlingly imaginative adaptation of a Daphne du Maurier short story is surely his greatest achievement To come to terms with their daughter’s death, a couple winter in Venice, where a blind woman tells them she’s seen the child... If the film, with its chilly hints of the supernatural, is an enormously effective thriller, it’s also an insightful study of profound grief. The wife (Christie) looks to the past for solace, the husband (Sutherland) to the future; accordingly, the fragmented narrative creates a psychological reality where time becomes a tangle of memory, hope, fantasy and fear, while the densely allusive imagery (reds, water, glass, darkness) turns the couple’s Venetian sojourn into a waking nightmare. Hauntingly brilliant.

The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema had stars, directors and films to rival any in the world, writes Sight & Sound’s James Bell While Hollywood was in its studio-era heyday, south of the border another film industry was enjoying a Golden Age of its own. Mexican cinema dazzled between the 1930s and the 50s, with each new year bringing classic films from directors such as Emilio Fernández, Julio Bracho and Roberto Gavaldón; films that ranged from epic tales of revolution to uniquely Mexican takes on Gothic horror, and from lurid noirs every bit as hardbitten as those made in Hollywood to Mexican cabareteras – a genre that fused music, dance and melodrama to thrilling effect. Lighting up the screen, and captivating audiences across Latin America, were luminous figures such as María Félix, Dolores del Río, Pédro Armendáriz and Ninón Sevilla – stars who were immortalised through the breathtaking cinematography of masters like Gabriel Figueroa.
