I managed to get to watch the projection on Wednesday [May 21] of Kusturica, the film about Maradona. It was an unforgettable experience. Once Maradona arrived, no one else existed. He's more than a star - he's a god. Even Spike Lee was held back by the bouncers when he tried to get close. The atmosphere was crazy: "Olé olé olé olé DIEGO DIEGO olé olé DIEGO" ... When Diego Maradona arrived in the room a standing ovation began and went on for twenty minutes. Then during the film the atmosphere was electric. At each goal, the crowd howled. I felt I was actually in the film itself. Even if I considered that the film could have been better, he knew to choose a film that would get a reaction out of the public (even from those at Cannes who are generally more reserved). He transformed one of the most prestigious festival rooms in the world into an Argentine football stadium. What a great success."
