What does it take to design an icon? The documentary Chasing Perfect pulls back the curtain on the obsessive world of automotive design through the life and work of legendary car designer Frank Stephenson. From the minimalist curves of the modern MINI to the aggressive lines of the Maserati MC12, Stephenson’s creations are rolling sculptures that have defined eras. The film, directed by Helena Coan, delves into the relentless pursuit of aesthetic perfection, exploring the intense pressure, exhilarating breakthroughs, and profound personal cost behind shaping the machines that capture the world’s imagination. With insights from figures like Jay Leno, the documentary charts Stephenson’s journey as he grapples with the question of whether true perfection is ever attainable, or if the chase itself is the only destination.
