One of my favorite movies of 2019 is directorJames Mangold’sFord v Ferrari. Not only is the true-story racing dramaincrediblywell made, it’s loaded with fantastic performances from every single cast member. Trust me, if you want to see a brilliant piece of filmmaking, look no further thanFord v Ferrari. For more on the film, you canread Adam Chitwood’s glowing review.
If you haven’tseen the trailer,Ford v Ferrariis set against the backdrop of 1966’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France and follows maverick American car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), who is challenged byHenry Ford II (Tracy Letts)andLee Iacocca(Jon Bernthal) to build a revolutionary car that would allow Ford to challenge Ferrari.Christian Baleplays the fearless British racer Ken Miles, who gets behind the wheel of the new Ford racing vehicle. The film also starsCaitriona Balfe,Josh Lucas, andNoah Jupe.
