"What do you want me to say? I want to ask my wife for permission?" (Enjo asks wife Laura in a fit of rage what he needs to do for a bank guarantee).
WINNER: Icon and Tribute Creator (Michael Mann) Gotham Film awatds. NOMMINEE: Best Actress (Penelope Cruz) Film Critics Awards.
High octane performances of A Type personalities Enzo and Laura Ferrari by a brilliant Penelope Cruz and a charismatic Adam Driver, highlight FERRARI.
At a sprightly 80 years of age, Michael Mann (HEAT, THE INSIDER) finally creates the film he's most wanted to create in the last decade. From deceased U.K. script writer Troy Kennedy Martin, Ferrari focuses on the summer of 1957. A time when Ferrari was on its knees, in debt and seemingly destined to dissolve.
Mann takes us into the world of the Ferraris' and the reasons for the turmoil. Driver and Cruz give us the essence of what power the Ferrari's held in both the world car industry and in Italy itself. There was no reining in of Enzo. But his match was Laura.
A handsome, rich film worth ruminating on. Even if there is some discomfort with actors speaking English with dodgy Italian accents. It's a flaw! 9GUMS.
A Sliver of Film as seen on LETTERBOXD.
