After twenty years in development, Michael Mann’s passion project about Enzo Ferrari was finally released this month. Chronicling the tumultuous period of his life in 1957 that included challenges in his personal and professional life, Ferrari is not a true biopic but rather a focused look at the man and how his name became iconic in the realm of racing and luxury cars.
Ferrari stars Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari alongside Penelope Cruz as his wife, Laura. Turning in a searing performance, Cruz is astounding in one of the best performances of the year. Shailene Woodley also stars as Enzo’s mistress, Lina Lardi. Gabriel Leone, Jack O’Connell, and Patrick Dempsey as drivers Alfonso de Portago, Peter Collins, and Piero Taruffi. With intense action sequences and tragic moments that will make your jaws drop, Ferrari is a powerful film that will stick with you long after it ends (read our...

Adam Driver cursed out an audience member who criticized the crash scenes in “Ferrari” after a recent screening of the film at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival.
“What do you think about the crash scenes? They looked pretty harsh, drastic and, I must say, cheesy for me,” the audience member said. “What do you think?”
“F–k you, I don’t know. Next question,” Driver said. A video of the exchange that was posted to X has already been liked over 7.7 thousand times.

Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. Neon releases the film in theaters on Monday, December 25.
For Enzo Ferrari, racing was a deadly passion, a terrible joy.
For director Michael Mann, the automaker and his life’s obsession make for briskly entertaining melodrama in a moment-in-time portrait focused around Ferrari and the Mille Miglia race of 1957. Adam Driver, again playing an Italian historical figure after taking on Maurizio Gucci for another major American auteur in Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci,” stars as a grief-driven Enzo Ferrari, working to save his near-bankrupt company while trying to appease his business partner and wife, Laura. She’s played with jilted, internalized rage by Penélope Cruz in her best performance since winning an Oscar for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” In fact, you could argue that Laura, worn in as an old shoe and run dry by her husband’s dalliances and impulsive decision-making,...

Roughly a month before Venice Film Festival’s 2023 lineup announcement, the buzz around the competition is heating up with several star-studded films by heavyweight directors in the mix, including Pablo Larrain (“El Conde”), Michael Mann (“Ferrari“), Sofia Coppola (“Priscilla“), Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things”) and Michel Franco (“Memory”).
These titles are believed to have been officially invited to the Lido in competition, according to sources.
Larraín’s follow-up to “Spencer,” “El Conde” depicts dictator Augusto Pinochet as a Vampire with a cast led by Chilean star Alfredo Castro.
Another film with a genre element, Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” is a surrealist science-fiction romance based on an adaptation of Alasdair Grey’s novel of the same name, and starring Emma Stone as Belle Baxter, a Frankenstein-like woman who is brought back to life after her brain is replaced with that of her unborn child. Stone stars opposite Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Christopher Abbott and Margaret Qualley.

2022 has already been a big year for Michael Mann, between the release of the pilot for "Tokyo Vice" — which marked Mann's first time back in the director's chair since his 2015 cyber-crime thriller "Blackhat" — and the arrival of his "Heat 2" novel. Now comes word that Mann has officially started shooting "Ferrari," a biopic about the titular Italian motor racing giant its director has been planning for a long time. And I mean a long time.
How long? "Ferrari" is based on a script co-credited to Troy Kennedy Martin, the late writer of the 1969 version of "The Italian Job" and "Kelly's Heroes," who passed away in 2009. It's a movie Mann has spent the good part of two decades trying to make a reality, during which time the film's original would-be leading man, Christian Bale, went and starred in another movie with the word "Ferrari" in its title, "Ford v Ferrari," while Mann's biopic spun its wheels.
