Senna

British director Asif Kapadia delivered his best work with this terrific documentary about the legendary Brazilian race car driver Ayrton Senna. Through his talent and skills combined with charisma and humility, Senna captured the imagination and heart of fans around the world until his untimely death. Kapadia tells the story entirely through archival footage and voices of his family, friends and journalists who saw his rise in the Formula One, his rivalry with Alain Prost and key moments in Senna's life including his winning the F1 world championship three times. Kapadia and his talented team avoid the pratfalls that plagues documentaries and deliver a compelling film that pays tribute to a legend. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
