A Sunday in Hell

Film following the 1976 Paris-Roubaix single day bike race over the cobbled farm tracks of northern France, featuring such cycling greats as Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck.

Jorgen Leth's film focuses on the 1976 Paris-Roubaix single day bike race over the cobbled farm tracks of northern France, normally reserved for cattle. Leth covers the race with twenty cameras and a helicopter and captures the drama as some of the sport's greats, including Merckx, De Vlaeminck, Maertens and Moser, battle it out through the dirt and dust clouds.
