“No Fear. No Limits. No Equal.”

Made by the award winning team responsible for the excellent “AMY”, “SENNA” tells the tragic story of the late Formula 1 motor racing legend Ayrton Senna da Silva – ‘The best driver who ever lived’ – Niki Lauda. The original 2010 UK quad film poster to accompany the release was designed by the Creative Partnership  creative arts agency , who have produced a poignant and eye catching piece based around a fantastic close up head shot photograph by Norio Koike.  The advertising campaign was very low key and the UK film poster that accompanied the extremely limited cinema release is truly scarce. Guaranteed original, it is presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition and represents a superb example of desirable and collectable original film movie, sports, motor racing memorabilia for one of the sport’s greatest and much loved personalities.

Film Description

SENNA Movie Poster

“The legend of the greatest driver who ever lived.”

People could be forgiven for not remembering Ayrton Senna. Almost 25 years after his death, the true intricacies that embroiled his career and personal life have yet to be unraveled, however this movie does a hell of a job connecting the two in perfect harmony. A bitter sweet taste is left in the mouth of the viewer as they watch a film with subtle undertones of competitiveness and strong hues of emotion. A soulful film, you really find yourself unraveling the charisma and Jues De Vivre that is Asif Kapadia‘s Senna.

From the offset of this motor racing sports movie you find yourself in a somewhat cheerful, unknowing state, as it lightly unravels his early career in Formula 1, whilst hinting at the precursors that led him there. The hard, pressing, and very tight competition of him against Alain Prost is another aspect that the viewer will find to be nail biting, as you truly begin to see the emotional aspect of Senna open at this point. Thus, the ending could come to a heartbreak to someone who had never heard of Senna. But alas, the legacy that lasts, transcends all documentaries, and all books. For the truly afflicted car/racing fan such as myself, you feel torn, and yet very motivated to be the best you can be.

To the regular viewer, you feel emotionally attached to a man who affected the lives of millions positively in his home country of Brazil. A perfect mix of a movie, in which you can watch as either an auto-racing fan, or someone who has never heard of Senna; It delivers on a highly emotional level, surrounding you in the warmth that he brought to many.
