CAR AND DRIVER TAKES ONE FOR THE TEAM: We Watched the New Lamborghini Movie. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t. Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend is a total mess.
Racing on the streets, scandalous love affairs, V-12s, and Enzo’s scarves: It shouldn’t take much to make a watchable film about sportscar development in 1960s Italy, especially if it’s written and directed by Oscar-winning Bobby Moresco.
Well, anyone can have an off day. We recently watched Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and caught up with Smoking Tire podcaster (and Road & Track editor-at-large) Matt Farah to compare notes. Spoiler: All notes were bad.
Don’t read on if you don’t want plot point spoilers because you plan to see the movie—but also, if you plan to see the movie, we can only say we warned you.
That’s too bad. I saw Ford vs. Ferrari in the theater in 2019 and absolutely loved it; I was hoping for a similar experience.
