****
A surprisingly gripping documentary made up entirely of contemporary footage, Senna tells the story of Formula One driver Ayrton Senna. The young Brazilian rose to prominence in the 1980s, eventually becoming teammates with World Champion Alain Prost. But the competitive nature and pride imbued in each driver would spark a rivalry unlike any the sport had ever seen. Filled with enough drama to keep even the most skeptical motorsports fan engaged, Senna is documentary filmmaking at its finest.
