I’ve been desperate to see a film titled ‘Love The Beast’ for a long time now. It stars Eric Bana and is a documentary exploring his 25 year history with his first car, “The Beast” – a 1974 Ford Falcon that he bought at the age of 15. It’s no surprise that the two have had such a long relationship given the type of bond that must have formed. It’s clear from the trailer that this wasn’t just a labour, but a labour of love (he managed to wreck the car when hitting a tree during the Targa Tasmania Rally).
It’s very clear from the snippets of the film I’ve seen (there are a few out there on the net) that Bana is almost as car mad as I am. Perhaps more so given his loyalty to the single car. I haven’t managed to find a release date yet but if you’re into cars and seeing others talk about them and their passion, then this is surely one that you do not want to miss.
You can view the trailer at Apple Film Trailers.
