A good movie, on a really peculiar man: Adam Driver (I know it's stupid but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the the surname of the actor chosen to interpret Enzo Ferrari had to be 'Driver'...) gives us a believable Ferrari: tall and charismatic as 'the Drake' was. Perhaps the only aspect of Ferrari's multifaceted personality that the movie fails to deliver is the explosive cheerfulness that sometimes overwhelmed him.
The movie narrates only few weeks in Enzo Ferrari's life. Several flashbacks help putting things into contest but many things that most people know are missing (e.g. Formula 1). This disappointed many reviewers but personally I don't feel like complaining: it's an artistic choice and surely I don't feel entitled to complain if James Joyce chose to describe only few hours (less than one day...) in his 'Ulysses'.
Anyway the story is extremely interesting and in the end you can easily feel like you wanted more. Or at least that's what happened to me... and that's why I think that the movie is good and characters are interesting.
That said, I won't add more, afraid as I am of spoiling a story that every Italian knows but perhaps it's not as famous among people from abroad.
Enjoy.
