This is a great doc for a great film! You really get an intimate portrait of McQueen and get to know his bitter-sweet son Chad. McQueen as a true artist never negotiated his vision and time proved his critics wrong. "Racing is life anything that happens before or after is just waiting." Le Mans wan intimate portrait of what it "feels" like to be a real car driver, it's a true visual poem to motor racing and the best example of the combination of visual storytelling and the visceral experience of the racing. Critics complained that there was no story or script but I guarantee you if they had anymore of a story or dialog it would have ruined this film. This was experimental filmmaking at it's best and it a tribute to the racers of that time. Le Mans was one of those rare perfect films where every line, every shot, every edit is exactly where it should be. No amount of words are waisted and every bit of dialog is succinct and to the point. No superfluous story, no pointless plot, no unnecessary scenes. If Truffaut or Godard made a racing movie it would have been like Le Mans. For race car drivers and racing fans this is the greatest racing films ever made and that is the ultimate endorsement.
