The pic, which is screening in Competition in Venice, was the primetime premiere screening tonight on the Lido, with the film’s stars Adam Driver, Patrick Dempsey and Daniela Piperno joining Mann on the red carpet and inside the Palazzo del Cinema.

The pic’s subject matter is near and dear to Italians’ hearts, telling a story beginning in the summer of 1957 with ex-racer Enzo Ferrari (Driver) is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura (Penélope Cruz), built from nothing 10 years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son a year earlier, and Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son with Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley). 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.

Ferrari received a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement this month, allowing its stars to promote it on the festival circuit, which also includes a closing-night slot at the New York Film Festival in mid-October. STX Entertainment and its partners are distributing internationally.

Ferrari has a Christmas Day stateside release date via Neon.

Nearly 70 allotment holders booted off their plots after 130 years
Nearly 70 allotment holders are being booted off their plots despite being there for 130 years - after the landowner served notice. The 64 green-fingered gardeners in Bath in Somerset are being evicted from the site where allotments have been since 1894. The site is owned by a distant relative of the original landowner who is not a resident of Bath. Bath and North East Somerset Council was warned the owner of Combe Down Allotments planned to terminate the lease. The council said it had been trying to negotiate with the landowner but he refused to meet them. Cllr Tim Ball said: “This land has been used for allotments since 1894 and continues to be of significant social value for the community so this is a hugely disappointing decision.''
