Love The Beast
March 15th 2009 22:54
FOR his directorial debut, Hollywood star and all-round top bloke Eric Bana picked a subject close to his heart – his first car. The result is an emotionally charged documentary about the Melburnian’s 25-year love affair with a 1974 Ford XB Falcon Coupe he calls The Beast.
With the help of his three best mates, Bana gets the machine ready to race in the daunting Targa Tasmania rally, but tragedy strikes, forcing him to think more deeply about what the Falcon really means to him. On hand for their insights and opinions are US talk-show legend Jay Leno (wait till you see his car collection!), Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and TV psychiatrist Dr Phil.
The cinematography and music are great, and you don’t have to be a revhead to enjoy Love The Beast. It’s a real-life drama about passion and relationships that’s every bit as engaging as anything else Bana has done.
