Naturally, from those 130-131 minutes that the film lasts Ferrari, auto racing could not be absent. SPECIFICALLY Mille Miglia, a competition in the summer of 1957 that not only resulted in the deaths of pilot Alfonso de Portago (Gabriel Leone), co-pilot Edmund Nelson, and 9 others, including five children. But also a moment of balance in the company’s existence, which gave the film its title. Of course, there were viewers who were completely dissatisfied with this and several other similar shenanigans. Otherwise well edited by Pietro Scalia. But for this, for thrills, it exists Rush: Rivalry and adrenaline since 2013 or even more famous Grand Prix since 1966.

Ferrarithe 2023 production, directed by Michael Mann, is not, or is only a supporting part of, a sports movie or a movie about the all-too-often assumed dangers Enzo theorized or playboy pilot Alfonso experienced.

Ferrari it is a dramatic, stormy fragment of company and family life. Both are known. But this is far from such a species And the rich cry.

In 1947, former racing driver Enzo Ferrari and his wife Laura founded the company, which later became a well-known automobile company. Enzo’s goal was to have its products entered in major competitions, not to increase the sales of the cars, but to be able to enter as many competitions as possible. Ten years later, the company’s position Ferrari it was by no means one of the best. A series of unfortunate coincidences, falling sales, just under 100 copies sold in 12 months and the resulting empty rather than full accounts, increased competition in the market, quasi-mafia relationships between patrons, the harshness of the press, the ever-increasing cost in human life of the competition dramatically undermined business.

The relationship between the spouses was also far from enviable. They were more like a business partnership barely surviving. It was very much like a game of cat and mouse. Laura put up with several conditions, which were often violated, repeated betrayals of her husband, in whose life several girlfriends intervened. Enzo and Laura lost their only son to a terrible disease, and Laura often blamed Enzo for Dino’s death. And Laura didn’t know everything yet. The detail that Enzo had a son by the much less important but much gentler Lina Linardi remained unknown to him for some time. And this son could not be recognized as legitimate.

So the movie Ferrari it’s more about choices, survival, trade-offs, contractual relationships in family life, pride, regret and trade-offs. Ferrari it’s less, acting-wise, an Adam Driver movie. Who, although aged to cope with the needs of the film, remained a typical non-standard interpreter of Enzo Ferrari. Phlegmatic, unsympathetic, sharp, arrogant Mascalzone. Of course, Driver, who was in his 40s at the time of filming, impresses with his attitude, his height, the way he can wear sunglasses (which he puts on and takes off), and his masterful sensibility. from the relationship with Lina Linardi (Shailene Woodley) and with little Piero (Giuseppe Festinese).

Ferrari undoubtedly, this is the film of the Madrid actress Penelope Cruz. _
