Movie #4 - Senna (2010)

The first documentary for my 2012, Senna.  This film was not nominated for the feature documentary Oscar, and I understand why.  It is not because of a lack of storytelling or content.  It is because that not a single camera was used in the creation of this film.  It is done purely with archival footage.  The filmmakers do an excellent job of telling the story of Ayrton Senna's life, both on the track and off, but it's my opinion that a real film is made not just through editing and voice-over, but through a lens.  This is, to me, journalism and not filmmaking.

3/5
