Journey to Le Mans (2014)
Wrong cinematic viewpoint for presenting racing.
25 May 2015 - 9 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Journey to Le Mans is a documentary presenting team Jota's quest to win Le Mans in the LMP2 division.
Much of the race footage is presented in slow motion, and the melodramatic soundtrack is unrelenting. These aspects betray the innate excitement of high-speed racing. The film doesn't even present a summary of the race in any desirable form. I have to believe an under-produced bland documentary would have been much more interesting.
What it does somewhat well is profile the drivers of team Jota. The raw footage is top-notch, alas the actual racing clips are very short.
My one word summary would be "boring", which is a very unfortunate description of the pinnacle of high-speed auto racing.
