Adam Driver has performed a Gucci and now stars as one other well-known Italian, Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s long-awaited Ferrari.

The official synopsis for the film set to premiere on the Venice Film Festival tomorrow reads: “It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.”

The movie co-stars Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Jack O’Connell Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Gadon and Gabriel Leone.
