SENNA.
Not a big motor sport fan, in fact its about the only sport i cant watch as i find it tedious. However....
Having been told this was a 'must see' film/docu i wasnt dissapointed. An incredibly gripping and moving tale, even if the term 'film' isnt accurate here, its a documentary.
But WHAT a story....
The way senna was shat on by that French guy who was in charge of safety in F1 in the 90's is incredible.. a more arrogant man you would be hard pushed to find.
Not being a F1 fan either i didnt realise the hatred between him and Alain Prost, Prost redeems himself a bit near the end but generally comes across as total knob, the scene where he gets dogs abuse from the crowd at the brazilian GP is comedy gold.
The closing part dealing with his death at San Marino is quite chilling, when Roland Ratzenberger dies in practice you feel a chill run down your spine knowing more tragedy is to come that weekend. I still find it incredible that not only did the race go ahead after the poor guys death in practice but, even after senna was killed they actually restarted and finished the race. !
All in all though a superbly written and edited film/docu.
8.5/10
