STEVE MCQUEEN: THE MAN & LE MANS
Directed by : John MCKENNA , Gabriel CLARKE
Year of production : 2015 Country : UNITED KINGDOM Length : 112 minutes
Synopsis
‘If we are going to do this, we are going to do it right. No bullshit, no clever twists. It has to be pure and about one race - Le Mans.’
By 1970, Steve McQueen ruled Hollywood. Hot off the back of classics like ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘Bullitt’ he could do no wrong. Now the aspiring mogul and racing fanatic could do the movie that was his life’s passion. The making of the film changed his life forever.
Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans interweaves stunning newly discovered footage and voice recordings with original interviews. It is the true story of how a cinema legend would risk almost everything in pursuit of his dream. Obsession. Betrayal. Vindication.
‘You must carry your film all the way through to the end. You can’t give up and you can’t let a thing go.’ Steve McQueen
