DEADLINE: What does the Ferrari story have that sustained your passion for so long?
MANN: The simple answer, which is useless, is everything. It’s one year in his life, 1957. That’s the year that, fortuitously, the parts of his life that I most care about in making a human story, all collide. It’s an opera, it’s a family drama, a tragedy, filled with wry humor. It’s a racing film, but it’s not a movie about car racing. It’s a movie about this guy’s life and his passion. He started as a race car driver and then became a racing team manager for Alfa Romeo. His passion was to make the racing team win, so he’s kind of an impresario, conductor or film director, of a race team. He’s an instigator of men, many of whom tragically die young. He’s very close to death and death is very close to him. His father died young, his brother died young. In the year of 1957, of the seven Ferrari drivers, only two were left alive at the end. He is passionate, plenty of libido. There’s part of him that’s like a metronome. As an engineer, he’s precise, like a master draftsman. At the same time, he has passion. There are other women in his life. Sex, food, death. There is a contradiction between chaos on one hand and the precision with which you determine the diameter of an exhaust valve, on the other. Someone in London who really knew the heart of this, who’s Italian, said it sounds like what you’re doing is making something so intensely local that it’s universal. And that’s it. The film is about life, danger, passion, racing with volcanic temperament throughout.
But the true bastard child of the Mann oeuvre is “The Keep,” which the director doesn’t plan to restore or revisit.
Ebiri asked an Internet fan question about whether Mann had plans to re-release his 1983 sci-fi horror film. The answer, a simple, “No.” The reason seems to be the cheap visual effects that Mann suggested were never up to snuff because tragically, their visual effects supervisor Wally Veevers (“2001: A Space Odyssey”) passed away during post-production which caused enormous problems because nobody knew how he planned to finish the visual effects scenes in the movie. “And we were never able to figure out how we were to combine all these components that were shot (pre blue and green screen). That one’s going to stay in its…” he trailed off, but it’s clear, it’s not a film he’s ever going to clean up or revisit for any kind of special edition.
