Review with Spoilers!
I went to the new film about Senna last night. The first thing to say was that the Cinema at Bluewater sold out for both of last nights showings so there must be some demand for it!
The film is a documentary about Senna and contains footage of him racing and relaxing, also behind the scenes candid moments with people like Prost, Dennis and Sid Watkins. I'd hard hardly seen any of the footage before and much of it was excellent in it's portrayal of speed and danger.
The film attempts to shed light on this complicated man. A man who was driven and determined, devoutly religious and consumed with a desire to help the poor in Brazil. It also goes behind the scenes of the Prost/Senna years and shows how Senna was robbed of a World title. It also shows his confusion and lack of joy in taking revenge a year later.
The film builds, because we all know where it ends, and the whole Imola weekend is covered including all the other accidents and mishaps that weekend.
Enjoy is perhaps the wrong word for a film that ends in the star being killed but it is enlightening and interesting. My showing was met with total silence throughout the whole hour and 45 minutes.
Overall a very good film and a must see for any motor racing fans.
