Negative Positive
Title: Discerning Formula
Review: LE MANS is a passionate yet esoteric film about the 24 hours of Le Mans. Racing and the exhilaration of speed are Steve McQueen's passions and these come through in his inimitable screen presence. However, without a genuine story scripted out, the film remains static for some viewers. Yet, visually it has a quixotic and very dynamic approach to its documentary style of filming and subject matter, which is the allure and fascination for the majority of viewers. McQueen's only motivation for anything he does in this film is summed up by his comments that in effect racing is life and everything in between is just waiting.
