SENNA (12A)

THIS moving documentary pays tribute to three-time Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna, who was killed at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994. Asif Kapadia's film opens in the late 1970s with 18-year-old Senna burning rubber in a go-kart and follows him as he quickly moves up divisions, making his debut in a Formula 1 car in 1984. The documentary has been painstakingly constructed from hours of race footage, photographs, interviews and archive material. Adrenaline-pumping footage from the cockpit of Senna's car in Monaco is a stark reminder of how close drivers have to steer to the crash barriers.
