Adam Driver stars as Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann's biopic of legendary racing-car mogul

ABC  

Michael Mann has made a career from sleek, muscular portraits of masculinity in crisis. No wonder he's long been drawn to making a film about motor racing driver turned auto designer Enzo Ferrari — a man whose predilection for speed and success was tempered by a persistent sense of impending doom. Set in 1957, Ferrari finds its eponymous motor magnate — played by everyone's favourite Italian, House of Gucci star Adam Driver — at a professional and private impasse. The business is on the verge of insolvency, with the output of Ferrari production cars insufficient to meet the company's spending on racing — where Enzo's true passion lies. A contemplative, sometimes mournful film, Ferrari echoes Mann's career obsession with the high-stakes balance between the professional and the private, zooming in on the specialised details of both business and pleasure.
