ONCE UPON A TIME THE SUPERHEROES ****½

Original Title: De Superman à Spider-Man: L'aventure des super-héros
Canada/France: Michel Viotte, 2002

IMDB reference

ONCE UPON A TIME THE SUPERHEROES is a fascinating and seemingly overlooked documentary about the history, evolution and lasting legacy of comic book superheroes. This documentary film comprises of interviews with several key figures from comic industry giants DC and Marvel. Moreover, it showcases a treasure trove of superhero comic book art, animation and live action.

The Count's Verdict: Arguably the best documentary I've seen on the topic thus far.

SENNA ****

UK: Asif Kapadia, 2010

IMDB reference

Watched this documentary alongside my F1 fan wife and must say we found it equally captivating. The masterful use of archival footage on display, woven together through superb editing, pieces together an intimate portrait of a man and a narrative full of triumphs, intrigues, rivalries and inevitably tragedy.

The Count's Verdict: A must for fans of the sport but an equally compelling story for any fan of film.
