“Le Mans ’66 – The great challenge” by James Mangold (Logan), in the hall since November 14 with Fox, takes you on the track and never bores you despite the duration of over two hours. Inside this high-speed sport-movie then a piece of true history that the original title summarizes as follows: Ford V. Ferrari. «With Le Mans ’66 – says Mangold – I wanted to make a racing film where cars were not digital creations and where we were really on the track. And not just to talk about it at the press conference, but because it makes a difference to see something real on the screen ». And the director of ‘Top Land’ repeatedly reiterates his philosophy of cinema at a press conference: «Too many of our films make us fall asleep rather than wake us up and make us think about life. I don’t want to anesthetize my audience, rather I give up making films ». And Mangold again: «I started from a story that I loved right away. An action movie complete with a battle on the track and a surprising series of events that follow one another. What happens in Le Mans is not like Rocky, it is not so obvious. Yet on TV – he adds – races are often boring. So I changed my strategy, letting the spectator enter the cockpit, involving the observer directly in the guide ».
