DVD Review: ‘Senna’ Salutes Astounding Career of Titular Racing Icon
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 20, 2012 - 8:31amCHICAGO – Here’s one of the smartest documentaries to come around in a good long while. Director Asif Kapadia tackles subject matter that begs to be told with immediacy and he ends up succeeding every step of the way.
