'I want people to come out feeling Brazilian'
0diggsdigg
"True fiction" is how Asif Kapadia describes Senna, a look back at the life and times of Brazilian motor racing genius Ayrton Senna. Whatever you call it - and somehow 'documentary' doesn't cut it - it's a terrific piece of work that will be cherished not just by Formula 1 fans, but even by those who'd normally rather bake their eyeballs than watch cars whizzing round a track. The British director explained how Antonio Banderas, Oliver Stone and Michael Mann all tried and failed to bring Senna to the big screen, and talked through some of the scenes that didn't make the final cut. Ladies and gentlemen, start your e-ngines... http://www.empireonline.com/interviews/interview.asp?IID=1286
