Viva le Tour !





Fantastic documentary on the 1962 Tour de France. I can't understand one word of it, but one of the best cycling films I've ever seen.

Grab a snack, pull up a chair, watch all 19 minutes and see if you don't agree.

  1. Great short film by the director Louis Malle. You can get this (with subtitles) along with a couple of his other documentaries on a Criterion Collection DVD [http://www.criterion.com/boxsets/275-eclipse-series-2-the-documentaries-of-louis-malle]. The one about life in the Citroen car factory included on this DVD is also worth watching.
