    I think also if your a fan of Stanley Kubrick you should check this out too, because it does at...( read more) times feel like a Kubrick, there's obsession here, there's some of the best sequences in film history here.

    One of the great racing movie of all time. But this movie just have a great director and cameraman, and this story is not rapturous for a racing movie!
