Fiebre de velocidad
Formula 1, febbre della velocitá
Reseñas (2)
A documentary about the cruel, old and uncompromising beauty of motorsport, and F1 in particular. The danger, the challenge, the fascination with speed, the rawness of what is depicted, the appeal to the viewer, the cruelty, the glory, the precision of the best of the best. Yet it is not a documentary in the classical format; it is a reportage, a documentary, a tribute, a vignette and a film. Which is also its only problem, it’s a bit of everything. But it works, nothing else in living memory brings the mystery F1 to life so well and evocatively. It’s chilling. Repeatedly. At the same time, it's not about accidents and tragedies, just as F1 itself is not and never has been, however undeniable they are to this day. A must-see for those addicted to F1 up to the mid-nineties and beyond. Even after more than four decades since its inception.

Honestly, the film is probably most interesting from the perspective that it provides a good overview of who actually died in Formula 1 racing, at least up to 1977, which is primarily focused on. There are quite a few personalities, both from the racing world and the film world, but it's rather filler. The scary accidents are the main thing.
