LA COURSE EN TÊTE by JOEL SANTONI at 14:30 (runtime 1h40)
Eddy Merckx, the greatest champion in the history of cycling, is a legend in his own right. To portray this man who was both a conqueror on his bike and reserved in his private life, Santoni abandons the traditional documentary formula (alternating interviews and voice-overs) and creates a film that highlights the mythological dimension of the champion. Through a series of shots showing heat, thirst, joy, pain, fatigue, falls, injuries, retirements and finally the deliverance of victory – all accompanied by classical music – the races are transformed into veritable epics. The film offers a portrait of a legendary champion, as well as a tribute to the anonymous riders who populate the peloton.
