Catch Riveting Film SENNA at Varsity Theatre in Des Moines
I understand the riveting film SENNA will be starting this Friday, Sept. 30th, at the Varsity Theatre, 25th and University in Des Moines across the street from the Drake University campus.
It charts the career of Formula One racing legend Ayrton Senna, from his explosion onto the F1 scene in 1984 (when he came from 13th place to finish first at the Monaco Grand Prix) to the Brazilian star's tragic death a decade later at age 34, in an accident at Imola in San Marino.
Alongside many of his most famous races, the film covers Senna's three
World Championship wins, his bitter rivalry with fellow driver Alain Prost, his his frequent clashes with the deeply political racing authorities (he would often win on the track but lose on a technicality, just as he did in 1984), his global superstar status and the effect of his success on his beloved native country.
The film is structured like a thrilling sports biopic. It is inspirational, awe-inspiring, laugh-out-loud funny, and ultimately deeply moving.
SENNA will be shown this Friday at 4,7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday showings at 1:30, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Regular showings Monday through Thursday at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.
