“It was like a newly found freedom,” the Oscar-winning director tells us
, Diego Maradona is a semi-divine figure. “He’s almost like a saint,” the director tells AnOther. “With a saint you don’t ask yourself why you believe in them, it’s just a given.” While the late Argentinian player invoked similar adoration from fans around the world, for Sorrentino the sentiment is especially potent. When he was 16 his father bought him a ticket to a Napoli match – Maradona had recently broken his own record, signing to the club for £6.
When AnOther meets Sorrentino, the film has already secured accolades at the Venice Film Festival, picking up the Grand Jury Prize, and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for its star, Fillipo Scotti. “We tried to look for a good actor,” Sorrentino recalls of casting Scotti as Fabietto, through whose eyesis told, and who dons the same single earring as the director today. “And Fillipo is a very good actor.
Elsewhere the film marks the latest collaboration in a 20-year relationship for Sorrentino and Toni Servillo, who most famously appeared as Jep Gambardella in. “We laugh a lot together,” the filmmaker says. “We make fun of each other, and then when we get bored of making fun of each other we gang up against the others.” Playing Saverio, Fabietto’s father, Servillo’s involvement was especially valuable.
While Fabietto and Saverio appear close on-screen, it’s his mother who sets the emotional tone in key moments of the film’s first half. Played by Teresa Saponangelo, during one particularly beautiful lunch scene, the family is seen cheering as she juggles oranges; it later becomes evident her talent is a coping mechanism. “My mum just juggled oranges to amuse us as children,” Sorrentino remembers, fondly. “She had learned when she was in school as a kid.
