Did you people see the same film I saw?
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
I created an account on imdb just so i can write this. Seriously, if you're a car enthusiast/petrolhead, this will make you cry and stand back in awe. The movie itself is great but the soundtrack is really incredible too. A must watch for any car guy. If you're not into cars this movie will get you into cars and racing i guarantee.
It is rare for a documentary to leave the same impact as a movie. An emphasis of reality, good acting and other factors make it more exciting, more appealing ... However when you see this fantastic work of Asif Kapadia with Ayrton Senna as the main star, where images, sounds, speeches and people are pure event, it becomes difficult to make that judgment. In this documentary we vibrate, we learn, we fall in love and even without having seen him racing or hearing about the legend only after his departure, in the same way as his first fans we miss him... the greatest driver the world has ever seen. A work that must be seen and re-seen. Review by Ragnak
Sometimes is difficult to understand the Legend without a trip in his personal life, this documentary is a touching voyage of a man who fought for his legacy, F1 politics, the pride of a country in need of happiness... and the casuality of how some incidents can change a man. If you loved Rocky as a motivating movie, you can't miss this treasure, you'll see how a man with a huge love for God, never forgot his people. The fight with Prost, Jean-Marie Balestre's punishment, the leadership years and the continuous voice against some awful politics.This documentary for F1's fans, this film will appeal mandatory... for movie or non F1 fans, a really good detailed biopic and exclusive footage of his personal and professional life.You need to watch this documentary and be prepared to approach the goal of his last years, the happiness for his victories and the joy of Brazil and the 'Special" moment when his sight show us the doubt, fear and some kind of divine augury before his death. The music has been perfectly chosen, the official footage, audio, conversations and the transformation of the epic battle between he and Prost, to Alain Prost's pain and deep sadness of Senna's funeral.Is amazing how destiny can show us another heir, Schumacher appears in the huge pain of Senna's death as a sign... Destiny.
When former F1 World champion James Hunt died at the age of 45 in 1993, Senna paid him a handsome tribute. Hunt by that time was better known as a F1 commentator for the BBC. Hunt was also one of the relatively few F1 champions to have died of a natural cause. He might have had a heart attack at the age of 45 but it was not the fate that befell Senna just a year later.Senna commonly raged against F1 politics whether it would be the organisers, administrators or F1 teams themselves. When he moved to Williams he might have hoped for a new start with a team that had maybe the best car in F1 at the time but fate was not so kindThe documentary focuses on Senna's racing career in F1, from his debut in the 1984 Brazilian Grand Prix to his death in an accident at San Marino in 1994. It relies primarily on archive race footage, home video provided by the Senna family, rather than retrospective interviews. The film has no formal commentary.This documentary directed by Asif Kapadia also deals with his battle with great rival (and sometimes team mate) Alain Prost, the wily racer known as the Professor. It was the natural racer against the more methodical, cerebral driver who might even resort to underhand tactics to get on top. But then again in F1 underhand tactics are common whilst racing or behind the scenes such as getting a drive on the best team, living on the edge of the rules regard the setting up of the car and even trumping your team mate.Still despite the great and bitter rivalry, Prost was a pall bearer in Senna's funeral.The documentary gives a good account of an era of motor racing from the mid 80s to the mid 90s and there is some great behind the scenes nuggets of information that people who watch F1 on TV might not had been aware of. If you are not fan of racing this might not be to your liking.
