The film will be shown in select theatres and released on the streaming service in December.
Written and directed by Academy Award® winner, Paolo Sorrentino, The Hand of God has been described as “wonderful”, “sensuous” and a “sublime masterpiece”.
From Sorrentino (Il Divo, The Great Beauty, The Young Pope) comes the story of a boy, Fabietto Schisa, set in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s.
The Hand of God is a story full of unexpected joys, such as the arrival of football legend Diego Maradona, and an equally unexpected tragedy. Fate plays its part, joy and tragedy intertwine, and Fabietto’s future is set in motion.
Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal story, a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
