The 25th Bond film is finally released after multiple postponements!
It follows on from Spectre and has car chases, gadgets and stunts as in other Bond films but delves a bit deeper than others, in Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond.

Schumacher (2021)
This is a documentary film.gicing an overview of Mixhael Schumacher’s career. It includes interviews with his family and those who worked with him (some of the interviews are in German, Frenxh or Italian, but subtitles are provided).
It briefly mentions the skiing accident but not in detail and has no information on his current state of health.
Overall it is interesting and may help those who don’t know much about him, but for fans, it doesn’t really provide anything particularly new.
