There's a feature in The Guardian on 2073 here: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/dec/15/asif-kapadia-2073-amy-winehouse-senna-maradona-trump
from which:
“It’s a dazzlingly creative work. Kapadia started out directing fictional features but he is best known for his hugely popular and critically acclaimed sort-of trilogy of documentaries: Senna, Amy, Diego Maradona. He pioneered a new aesthetic: gorgeously cinematic and defiant of the usual rules. And until 2073, in which he broke his own rule, his documentaries involved no talking heads, just archive overlaid with the voices of those who knew his subjects best, racing driver Ayrton Senna, singer Amy Winehouse and footballer Diego Maradona.”

This film has a (15) certificate as it includes: “violence, threat, injury detail, distressing scenes, very strong language”
“Combining hard-hitting and upsetting real footage of global catastrophes and injustices with scenes of futuristic drama, this intense dystopian documentary contains unflinching moments of violence and some distressing images.”

Presented in collaboration with West Country Voices https://westcountryvoices.co.uk
