            The film follows the life of Eric Bana and his relationship with a Ford Falcon XB Coupe which he bought at the age of 15. In his own words he describes the car as a 'camp fire' around which he and his mates have orbited since the car came into his life. The film features Bana and his three best mates and their memories of the car along with a large assortment of home movie footage and more recent footage of them competing in the 2006 Targa Tasmania rally with the car. They had previously competed in the same race 11 years earlier with the same car (although it was completely rebuilt in 2005). This film feels really honest and heartfelt and is a very personal account of Eric Bana's life and the things which are important to him; family, friends and his car.
Other guests during the show include Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno, Grant Denyer & Jim Richards, all well known car nuts. The car racing footage from the 2006 Targa is excellent using split screen techniques to heighten the excitement. The sound during these segments also adds significantly to the overall experience. The emotions at play during and after he race are quite amazing and you really feel them as you watch the documentary. Overall, this film gives you a real insight into what makes Bana tick and you can really see that he is nothing like most Hollywood celebrities.
An excellent documentary which is heartfelt and personal, much more than the vanity project it might seem at first. [D-Man2010]Eric Bana is one of Australia's most-loved film stars, but in "Love The Beast" we get a glimpse behind the Hollywood glamour to touch one man's true passion, his lovingly restored Ford GT Falcon Coupe - AKA The Beast.
In the spirit of celluloid classics such as "Grand Prix", "Le Mans", and "Mad Max", "Love The Beast" is more than a film for car fanatics. Full of heart, "Love The Beast" is about the defining moments in life and about driving fast... really fast. [D-Man2010]
