En forårsdag i helvede

Jørgen Leth, 1977

Director and poet Jørgen Leth is, amongst other things, obsessed with bicycle racing as a ritual expression of human victory and defeat, and from this obsession he has made the unique "A Sunday in Hell". The Sunday is April 11th, 1976, when the classic and grueling annual bicycle race Paris-Roubaix was held, and the Hell is the cobblestone field roads of Northern France, where the champions of bicycle racing battle for victory. With an army of photographers, Jørgen Leth followed the race in all of its details, and he has edited the footage into a mythic and documentary spectacular.

Stjernerne og vandbærerne

Jørgen Leth, 1974

The film has been made during the great, classic cycle race "Giro d'Italia", which Jørgen Leth followed during the 22 days it took, together with Swedish photographer Dan Holmberg and the author Ebbe Traberg as sound engineer. This race is pictured as a novel with the competing heroes of the professional cycling in a number of dramatic incidents. This film tells about the tactical game behind the scenes and about the professional racer's ideas of honour and the unwritten laws which he has to observe, if he will not be left out.
