The third film from the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning team behind 'Senna' and 'Amy', 'Diego Maradona' is constructed from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona's personal archive with the full support of the man himself. On the pitch, Diego Maradona was a genius.

Off the pitch, he was treated like a God. The charismatic Argentine loved a fight against the odds and led Napoli to their first-ever title. It was the stuff of dreams. But there was a price...Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch but, as time passed, darker days closed in.

Jane Magnusson's documentary centres on 1957, a turbulent but miraculously productive year when Bergman, besides unveiling The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries and working extensively in theatre and TV, led a messily complicated domestic life.

This is the springboard for a survey that spirals out to embrace everything from childhood to old age, touching on his many creative achievements, his strengths and failings as a man, and the way his art derived from his life. This release includes both the theatrical version of the film and the expanded, four-hour edition made for Swedish TV, 'Bergman: A Life in Four Acts', in which further illuminating anecdotes are offered by many who knew him - perhaps none, however, quite as revealing as Bergman's own testimony.

When Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and the gang join Bonnie (voice of Madeleine McGraw) on a road trip with her new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), the innocent little spork's hilarious antics launch Woody on a wild quest filled with unexpected new characters - and one long-lost friend!
