Steve McQueen, Portrait of a Man Through His Machines
Description
"What did Steve McQueen do all the time he wasn't filming? He was filming... on the racetrack! He loved driving perhaps even more than cinema. A stage extra, he rounded out his savings by winning small motorcycle races. As a young film actor, he swallowed up his fees in racing cars (Porsche Speedster, Lotus Eleven) or very fast pleasure cars (Jaguar XKSS). A big star, he drove for real (Triumph Bonneville, Porsche 908) and risked his reputation and his fortune for a film that would go down in history: Le Mans. Later, he collected cars again, and planes, and motorcycles...
Steve McQueen, Portrait of a Man Through His Machines traces this passion .
All the machines he chose tell the story of his double life. An unexpected way to meet McQueen, and also to spend a moment, in our turn, with his mounts (Mini Cooper, BSA, Indian, Ferrari Lusso, Porsche 917…) themselves become legendary.
