Italian Race
A passion for fast engines runs through Giulia De Martino’s veins, for she comes from a family that produced champions of motor sports for generations. But when her father dies, she is left to her own devices at the racing circuit. While the award money for her first win could buy back her indebted parents’ house, she has few choices other than her brother Loris as a coach. He is a drug-addict but gifted with an extraordinary seventh sense of driving. And if worse comes to worst, there is still the last survival show of motor sports: the Italian Race …
Matteo Rovere’s adrenaline charged brother-and-sister drama not only flaunts breath-taking driving shots as can be expected from a film about car racing, but has a witty narrative style in store and two brilliant lead actors. Particularly mesmerizing is Accorsi’s sparkling performance as lovable pain in the ass Loris.
