The film is set in 1957, when a former racing driver and car builder is going through a personal and professional crisis.

Michael Mann: “I show the human weaknesses hidden behind the myth”

“It was extremely important for me to show my fragility. Enzo did not want to show them, but Adam felt them, and even if the character does not show them, you understand his feelings. And it was also extremely important to show his relationship with his wife Laura, consisting of attraction, strong connection and conflicts. A relationship that remained that way throughout his life. But every relationship Enzo was unique, even the relationship with his beloved. They were both strong women.”

It was in the same 1957 that Ferrari decided to bet on a high-speed race held in Italy: the legendary Mille Miglia. “I was fascinated and wanted to know everything about these engines, Italy, the role of the Church and the politics of those years. I studied how women can be dressed. But that’s both the privilege and the challenge of making a film: the opportunity to do anthropological research.”
