About the Work

Paolo Sorrentino, Academy Award® winning writer and director of Il Divo, The Great Beauty, and The Young Pope, presents The Hand of God, the story of a young boy named Fabietto Schisa set in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s. The film captures both unexpected joys, such as the arrival of football legend Diego Maradona, and a tragic turn of events. As fate unfolds, joy and tragedy intertwine, setting Fabietto’s future in motion. In this deeply personal story, Sorrentino returns to his hometown and delivers a moving tale of family, sports, cinema, love, and loss. The film, which earned Filippo Scotti the Best Young Actor award and the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, showcases stunning shots of Naples and its nearby natural wonders, while evoking nostalgia for family and the pursuit of passion. This accompanying book includes Sorrentino’s directorial notes and an interview with cinematographer Daria D’Antonio, taking the reader behind the scenes and into the minds of the creators.
