Anybody had a chance to see this film yet,
(http://metromerp.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/senna-movie.jpg)
I've been looking forward to it ever since I heard about it last summer, I know it was shown at Sundance this winter but I didn't go, and I can't find any details of if/when it has/will be released on DVD in the US, just that the UK release is June. Anybody know?
EDIT: fixed image link

Your pic doesn't show but I'm guessing you are refering to A. Senna the movie? I read about showings but I fail to remember, I'll try to find it.

Greatest F1 Driver ever, with Fangio a close 2nd. I've been wondering about this film as well. :rock
-
i have to look for this movie! didnt knew about, i was a big Senna Fan, first time
i saw him live 1990 in Monza Italy and then the years later allways at Hockenheim,
Senna was a special person and really fast on the track, he is still missed by the fans...
-
Finally found out that the movie has a Facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/sennamovie
DVD release is June 3rd in UK, and sometime in July in US.
Found it's listed on Netflix already too, have it on my "save" list.

We can agree to disagree. Lewis Hamilton is my current fav. and I never get tired of watching that.

Thx for the youtube vid link...what a car..what a driver senna was..with karaya on this one..hamilton :bolt:

What about Mikka Hakkinen?
I think he deserves to be on anybodies top 5 drivers of all time list. I loved him just for the awkward silences his single syllable responses in press conferences led to. :lol
Problem with picking a "Greatest Driver Ever" is that the cars and tech are so different from one era to another it's hard to really tell. Having said that I think it's telling that in a Top Gear short film they made about Senna last year;
-Michael Shumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Mikka Hakkinen, Martin Brundle, Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Rubens Barichello, David Coulthard, Jarno Trulli and Nigel Mansell-
are all on record on film saying Senna was #1. Oh and Nikki Lauda too (just noticed movie cover art :aok )
-
The movie is on Netflix streaming now, if anyone else is interested. I Just watched it this morning, I give it a big :aok

Senna was great but a quality hollywood movie of Tazio Nuvolari would be epic.
-
Cool ty, ill check it out this week. :cheers:

You are trying too hard....

Well.....they wouldn't have to exaggerate using any hollywood cliches.

That terrible racing movie with Sylvester Stallone started out as a dramatization of Senna, but then they decided it wasn't exciting enough so they made it totally fiction.
They should've stuck to their original inclination. Senna was a master all his own.

I'm glad they didn't, they probably would have screwed it up. This documentary does a great job of telling his story with real footage and real facts, some knowledgeable people doing voice-over, and just a bit of dramatic music thrown in once in a while. Senna's racing was exciting enough, it doesn't need any dramatization, nor does the politics of the FIA. eg. the French FIA president finding --AKA making up-- a loophole to take the 89 title from Senna and give it to a French driver.
Seriously even if you're not a racing or Senna fan this documentary is well worth a watch just for the human side of the story.
PS now I'm thinking of a Hollywood version and who they could get to play Alain Prost, makes me laugh for some reason. :lol

So true. :rofl :rofl
People also never remember what Ayrton Senna did for his hometown of Sao Paulo. He gave that city a lot of his winnings in the form of donations for Schools, Libraries and other philanthropist things that the City did need and use.
