Cyclescreen: A Sunday In Hell + Q&A (PG) S
Dir: Jorgen Leth
111 mins, 1976, Denmark, Subtitled
Please note: this was screened in Aug 2011
Jorgen Leth's seminal film about the Paris-Roubaix classic is widely regarded as the most powerful portrayal of cycle racing ever made. A true masterpiece of cycling cinematography, accompanied by Leth's unique narration that brings the mythical and heroic aspects of the sport so vividly to life. Considered one of the toughest races in the calendar, this rare screening of A Sunday in Hell captures something of the soul of cycling. Often imitated, but never bettered.
Followed by a Q&A with Jorgen Leth and William Fotheringham, the Guardian's cycling correspondent.
Fee: £7.20 full / £5.60 concessions.
