Le Mans (1971)
Directed by Lee H.
Katzin this film stars Steve McQueen, Elga Andersen and Siegfried
Rauch. An American driver competes in the Le Mans 24 hour race a year
after being involved in a crash that killed another driver at the
same race.
At times this film is
much closer to being a documentary than a work of fiction. The
dialogue in the film is so minimal as to barely exist making this
something of a fascinating experiment in film making. While the story
might not be that touching the film does a fantastic job of capturing
the mood and feeling of a race weekend in a sport where death is
possible.
4/5
