'Lucky' combines rarely-seen footage from the sport's earliest days with insights from the founder. The curtains are drawn back, revealing a multi-dimensional glimpse into the people, the races, the cars, the danger. Bernie's own words are amplified by drivers who challenged the courses and championed the races. And, in too many cases early on, paid the ultimate price. This documentary shouts quality entertainment. Highly recommended.
The arguments for and against Ecclestone are in no way glossed over. Instead, the viewer is offered an unblemished glimpse into the man, his nature, and why it may have been necessary for this larger-than-life individual to play the role he did.
I personally would love to see other global sports and the people who shaped them into today's billion-dollar industries, be put under a similar spotlight.
