I'm really looking forward to it, but not sure where it's being shown locally. I know for sure that a place in Bristol will have it but 160 miles round trip and two and a half hours in the car aren't exactly appealing.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Oh great! Just posted on twitter was a link to this FB page SENNA Movie | Facebook
There's a screenings tab which says where it is and it's not actually nationwide until the 21st. For the rest of the time it's actually a fairly limited run :angry:You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Yeah it's not exactly in every multiplex is it. That being said it's on at the Tyneside - which is well known in Newcastle for showing films other than your big blockbusters. I've been after going there for years and this weekend is looking good

I wasn't expecting every multiplex but at least thought that one of the 3 cinemas in Exeter would show it on release day, even if it was only one showing.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

I got to see a preview screening TBH I was worried quite how they'd pieced it all together, esp as someone who grew up wathcing Senna in F1. However I can honestly say all F1 fans will like this film, whether you loved Ayrton, despised him or were ambivalent!
There's none of that awful "here's someone sitting in their library talking" sections...it's all footage, narrated at various points by colleagues, family etc. There's some new footage too, or at least stuff I hadn't seen and I believe there was also a hell of a lot of material left out that I hope makes it onto a DVD.
So the film. It doesn't tell you anything you probably don't already know. But that is also it's strength - it is not a biographical F1 film in anyway, but merely a study of an incredibly interesting human being, who happened to be an F1 driver. Really what it presents is that there was this hugely talented man named Ayrton was never black or white, but all shades of grey. He had moments of greatness but he also had flaws.
I would say one minor quibble would be Prost does not come out of it looking that good, it did seem a little unbalanced in that respect - not sure if that was all down to editing or perhaps Alain's unwilligness to speak more? Be interesting to hear his reactions to the film.
However that aside there are some stand-out moments...the prophetic Prost "his problem is he thinks he can't kill himself" interview, Senna's "someone will die at this corner".
The beauty of it though was showing this conflicted man - a driver with no qualms about hitting Prost at high speed while also beign a driving force for the GPDA to be re-instated. A man who would show no remorse on a track, yet the car he died in contained an unfurled Austrian flag he intended to wave at the end of the GP in remberance of Roland.
Overall it's a great film with some absolutely stunning in car footage that on a Cinema screen is utterly mesmerising.:champion: WRC3 championship, WRC4 championship, WRC4 PCWRC, WRC4 ERC

I hope this movie is factually accurate and enjoyable and not a Hollywood style attempt to cash in on the life of Senna.

Yes it is. Three events this year and already two accidents. No way that everything is ok with Kalle. He was too tired of rallying at the enf of the last year and still was forced to continue part...
