DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Molly Manning Walker United States

Mann's meticulous exploration of obsession, precision, and masculine rivalry in films like 'Ferrari' and 'Heat' directly engages with the technical passion and competitive spirit central to Italian racing culture.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

Visconti's films deeply explored Italian aesthetic refinement, speed, and the glamorous intersection of class, beauty, and danger that define Italy's relationship with automotive culture and racing.
