I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Senna movie available at Kalahari. It’s about Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers that ever lived. They tell us: Buckle in and hit the blacktop with Brazilian Formula One champion Ayrton Senna as filmmaker Asif Kapadia draws on archival footage to reveal how the humble world-renowned racer blasted past the competition to become a true living legend. Asif Kapadia’s fascinating biographical film SENNA charts the life and career of Brazilian racing driver and Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna.

For some reason it hasn’t arrived on the US iTunes yet (get your US iTunes account here) and I was starting to chew on the table legs. Thank goodness I could stop doing that because, boom, the DVD is available at Kalahari! You know how awesome this movie is going to be? Enjoy these reviews:

Ambitiously constructed, deeply compelling, thrilling and in no way only for those who like watching cars drive in circles. A worthy paean to a true talent.
– Empire

A documentary with the pace of a thriller, a story of motors and machines that is beyond compelling because of the intensely human story it tells.
– Los Angeles Times

Not that I needed them to tell me that. I was always going to own this beautiful piece of cinematic brilliance!
