Reviews:

Very exciting but a very hard film to rate.
Steve McQueen stars in this film that recreates the race at Le Mans, France. However, he is less the star and more the object of the camera’s focus more than any of the other racers–but it’s a very unusual film. As a result, “Le Mans” is one of the more difficult films I have reviewed. That’s because its style is nothing like a traditional film. The narrative is nothing like a standard film and it plays like a fictionalized version of a documentary. So, if you are looking for dialog and an interplay of characters, this is NOT a film for you! Instead, it’s as if the entire 24 hours of Le Mans were crammed into a nearly two-hour film. To do this, the middle section of the race was condensed heavily, but the beginning and end of the race is live and it’s clearly like you are there watching all the action–up close as if you are in the car or next to it. And wow, is it tense–as I found my arms and legs moving and contracting with the action. And, in this sense, it’s a brilliant film and is the closest most of us will ever get to driving a race car ourselves. Exceptional but I cannot compare it to anything I’ve ever seen before–you just need to see this one to understand what I am talking about in my somewhat vague description. Sorry…it just seems to defy mere words.

Long regarded as the best motor racing film, it’s aged very well for being almost 30 years old.
One problem which plagues motorsport films is appalling dialogue. The beautifully shot “Grand Prix” would have been so much better without it’s plot, “The Racers” was moderately painful and the less said about “Days of Thunder” the better.

While still being fiction, “Le Mans” has a near documentary feel to it. Dialogue is at an absolute minimum. The biggest speaking part belongs to the circuit PA announcer. The second biggest belongs to Michael Delaneys Porsche 917.

Excellently shot film. The cameras catch all the angles of the picturesque Le Mans circuit, from the tremendous 340+kph, 4km long Mulsanne Straight, the Essess, the sweeps and twists through Arnage, Indianapolis & Maison Blanche. They had to enter their own car in the 1970 Le Mans race, Steve McQueen’s own Porsche 908, to get the incredible on track footage. The two major crashes were staged with the assistance of the Porsche and Ferrari teams.

The film itself is a fictional documentary of the battle between the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 312P factory teams as the battle that most grueling of motor races, the Le Mans 24 Hour. The minimalist characterisation works in the film’s favour, as it further highlights the confrontation. And in McQueen’s character we get a hero that isn’t a hero, plagued by a crash the previous year, and a hinted at triangle with the wife of a dead driver and the dead driver’s team mate.

But above all the stars are the cars and the circuit.
