Adam Driver gave a bluntly hilarious answer to an audience member criticizing Ferrari’s crash scenes for being “cheesy.”
On Sunday, November 12, 2023, Ferrari, which was directed by Michael Mann and stars Driver as Enzo Ferrari, screened at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival, per The Hollywood Reporter. Following the screening, an audience member began criticizing the film’s crash scenes during a Q&A Driver was attending.
“What do you think about [the] crash scenes?” the audience member asked. “They looked pretty harsh, drastic and, I must say, cheesy for me. What do you think?”
“F—k you, I don’t know,” Driver responded. “Next question.”

What is Ferrari about?
“It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis,” the official synopsis reads. “Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. 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.”
Based on the 1991 biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine by Brock Yates with a script by Troy Kennedy Martin, Ferrari also stars Penélope Cruz as Laura Ferrari, Shailene Woodley as Lina Lardi, Sarah Gadon as Linda Christian, Gabriel Leone as Alfonso de Portago, Jack O’Connell as Peter Collins, and Patrick Dempsey as Piero Taruffi.
Ferrari hits United States theaters on December 25, 2023, from Neon, while STX International is handling global distribution. The movie initially held its premiere in September 2023 at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews from critics.
