Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed.
几乎没有什么台词，也没有什么戏剧化的片段，可以说是勒芒赛车精致全面冷静的纪录吧。跟极速车王我觉得是不太能比的，只是赛车领域的完全不同视角的两部电影吧，极速车王属于事件性构建，但勒芒应该算对赛事的全局构建。除了赛车的细节，记者、观众、赛道内外，都是很重要的部分。what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?Racing's important to men who do it well.When you're racing it's...it's life.Anything that happens before or after...it's just waiting.
