Ferrari, the name may sound familiar, but Ferrari, the man, is a little more mysterious. In Ferrari, Michael Mann’s new film starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz, the story of Enzo Ferrari, a former racing driver turned car tycoon. it’s in the foreground. We see how he lived (with his wife and her lover), how he worked, and most importantly, what happened around the catastrophic 1957 Mille Miglia race, where one of his cars crashed into a group of spectators. killing 11 other people and launching a year-long legal entanglement.
Although the screenplay for Troy Kennedy Martin’s film is based on Brock Yates’ book, Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Car, The Races, The Machine, not everything you see on screen is exactly like it is in real life.
“The film is not an old document,” says Gabriele Lalli, the film’s consultant and Ferrari racing expert at Ferrari Classiche. “What I can tell you is that it gives you a picture of the situation Ferrari was in. get an intelligent idea of what happened at the time, even if it’s not entirely accurate. ” You can see what was going on.
Part of that ability to understand the essence of history came from Mann and Driver’s encounters with Piero Ferrari, who was chairman of the company his father founded until 2015, while part of that ability came from meticulous attention to detail, especially to vehicles. as well as the other people in and around them. “I read thousands of documents similar to The Twist of Fate to perceive exactly what happened,” Lalli says. “We get into documents and documents similar to the twist of fate. We had to examine the whole trial that took place after the twist of fate, so we looked at the police inspection documents and all the evidence related to the driver’s behavior, the decisions made through other people, the technical aspects of the car – I didn’t know much about those things until I read the documents.
However, the twist of fate of the car driven by Alfonso de Portago (played on screen by Gabriel Leone) is not the only facet of Ferrari’s life that required special attention. To amplify the character of Laura Ferrari, Enzo’s wife, Mann and Cruz visited the couple’s former apartment and saw Laura’s bedroom – covered, of course, with trendy silk – which they were going to recreate for the film. This piece was very heavy and I felt that opting for this trend was a choice someone would make if she suffered from intellectual suffering,” says Cruz. “I never heard why he chose that, or maybe it was Enzo. But the energy was very heavy, and we asked ourselves, “What about this wallpaper?What’s going on?” With that one?’ It was very hard and gave us a lot of answers that we didn’t want to put into words.
It is not the only position whose history the film has illuminated. “There are a huge amount of archival photographs of the [Ferrari] factory, so we knew what it was like,” says set designer Maria Djurkovic. “I had plans and we discovered a factory that is not from the same period, but that had a patio covered with cobblestones, which would better fit with the Ferrari factory. Then we built the workplace and the entrance.
The actors also went through various transformations to better resemble their characters. Driver spent hours in hair and makeup on shooting days in order to portray the 59-year-old Ferrari. “Film prosthetics now seem to almost be so extreme that you almost miss the performer, the person underneath—there’s often an emotional connection missing, and Michael didn’t want that at all,” he says. “It’s an exhaustive process, but it was helpful in trying to find the weariness in Enzo. He’s not spry at this moment in his life, but he’s also not weak by any means. There’s a heaviness, I think. I had a strong impulse about it from the first day. He was someone who had grown up in a factory, and I imagined that he hunched over when he got in cars. He’s someone who uses his mass and size, who doesn’t have to move much for other people.”
It’s all to say that while Ferrari is a work of fiction, it never loses site of the true story that inspired it or the real people who experienced what it depicts. “In the end, the story lets you feel exactly what life and racing in Italy were like in 1957,” Lalli explains. “More over, it tells you the story of a Enzo Ferrari’s life in a beautiful manner.”
