Neyde Senna

Le destin exceptionnel d’Ayrton Senna, ses réalisations sur et en dehors de la piste, sa quête de perfection et son statut mythique constituent le sujet de ce documentaire. Le film relate ses années légendaires de pilote de F1, de la saison 1984 à sa mort dix ans plus tard. Plus qu’un documentaire destiné aux fans de courses automobiles, Senna s’affranchit des conventions du genre pour privilégier une approche cinématographique. Le film recourt abondamment à des images pour la plupart inédites, extraites des archives de la Formule 1.

He travels by helicopter through the city of São Paulo, to his building in Santana, North Zone of the city. He shows his houses in São Paulo and Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro. And it speaks of its physical and psychological preparation.
