04/04/2010 Louis Malle's short-form documentary on the Tour de France is 19 beautiful minutes of the sweaty faces of racers, the rhythmic repetition of their cycling legs, and the blurred crowds passing by. Sports as poetry, and really quite moving. (No complaints about the hundreds of 1962 Frenchmen in spandex either). See more 09/23/2008 Nice little documentary. We can obviously tell the interest that Malle had in bikes, or maybe just the competition. It definitely shows us the pain and struggle that these guys go through, which sometimes brings them to a scary finish.

Seeing the difference in the technology of bike racing back then versus now and how the suffering still seems the same. Great for hardcore Tour fans and cyclists even though it doesn't really tell a "story" like modern documentaries, just showcases the period. See more Read all reviews
