Director Michael Mann had a few passion projects and one is the independently funded FERRARI focusing on the life of Enzo Ferrari (played by Adam Driver) at one of the pivotal points in the life of his company. He is trying to win an important race that will drive sales to his company while also thinking about if a merger with another car company would be a way to save Ferrari. He is still married to his wife (Penelope Cruz) while he carries on a life with a mistress (Shailene Woodley) that he has a kid with. FERRARI is an engaging biographical drama. I do wish it covered more of Enzo Ferrari's life instead of just a few weeks (with info alluding to earlier parts of his life). It is a movie that many didn't see in theaters and I hope more discover it on streaming, VOD, and disc.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
The blu-ray has a few featurettes about the director, the actors, and the making of the movie including replicating the cars.
