The Abdala Brothers, Salomão and André, masterfully produced this IMAX film, which tells the story of Brazilian driver Felipe Nasr as he prepares to tackle the world’s biggest endurance race.
The documentary is a must-watch for racing fans, offering a unique perspective on the highs and lows of endurance racing. Nasr’s journey is expertly woven into the narrative, showcasing the intense emotions and decisions that come with racing at Le Mans. The film’s cinematography and music are truly exceptional, capturing the essence of the event in a way that’s both thrilling and relatable.
What sets “2DIE4” apart is its ability to balance complexity and accessibility. The film is not just for hardcore motorsport fans; it’s also enjoyable for those who may not be familiar with the sport. The Abdala Brothers aimed to create a film that would resonate with both fans and non-fans alike, and they’ve succeeded.
I caught up with Nasr after the preview to discuss the film’s portrayal of racing in the dark and rain, a scene that he described as “capturing the fine line between succeeding and failing.” Nasr emphasized the importance of making decisions quickly and taking risks, even in the face of adversity.
The Abdala Brothers’ dedication to their craft is evident throughout the film. They shot, directed, and edited “2DIE4” exactly as they wanted, without compromising on their vision. The result is a documentary that’s both authentic and engaging.
“2DIE4” launches in select theaters today, with the IMAX version set to release in April. If you’re a fan of racing or just great storytelling, I highly recommend checking it out.
