Aside from the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers, my knowledge of sports is often bested by my wife’s. I’ve never really been drawn to sports and, if I was, my commitment to my graduate education has taken away most of my free time to learn about them. I watch maybe five football games a year, a handful of baseball games, and I’m taking part in Fantasy Football for the first time since the date of my birth this year. I mention this for two reasons. First, prior to watching Asif Kapadia’s Senna (2010), I only knew of the existence of Formula 1 racing and I was ignorant to Ayrton Senna’s existence, let alone his racing career. Secondly, despite this personal ignorance, I found the film to be one of the best of the year.
