One of the must see films of the year! Totally fascinating and very moving.
The director , Asif Kapadia , has used hundred and thousands of hours of archived television , family film and video footage and still manages to achieve a wondeful cinematic feel through out the duration.
Senna's story is told with respectful honesty , keeping the audience gripped from the beginnig , the purity of competing in the go - karts , all the way through to the tragic , fatal , accident at Imola.
We can see how Prost was , at times , openly hostile to the young arrival, Ayrton's answer was obvious that he only cared for the driving - and , of course what Prost tried to prevent , being first accross the line.
This is a film that you can appreciate even if you are not a fan of Motor Racing.
One Brazilian fan can be heard saying '' Brazilian people need food , health , education and joy. Now that joy is gone!''
All the press reviews are 5 stars , they are , for once , correct.
It was full houses in Sheffield on Saturday night , everyone left quitely , with the cinema assistants not raising the light level at the end!
