As a result of reading Anthony Lane’s recent capsule review of Asif Kapadia’s 2011 documentary Senna, I decided to check it out. What a riveting film! It chronicles the spectacular career of Brazilian race car driver Ayrton Senna. Lane calls it “an homage to velocity—it’s stripped of narration, talking heads, and anything else that might threaten to slow it down. What remains is a self-propelling drama, and the abiding image of Senna’s oil-dark eyes, gleaming through the letter box of his helmet.” This describes it perfectly. Highly recommended.
