The Stars and the Water Carriers - Documentary (1974)

[Ironchef]

   



Stars and Watercarriers - The film follows the 1973 Giro d'Italia and in his commentary Leth explains the fascination exerted by the great cycle races:
"The most beautiful, most pathetic images cycling can give us involve extreme performances in classic terrain."

The action literally emerges on the move and the riders readily assume the roles tradition and epic necessity allocate to them,
with the central conflict between the accustomed winner and greedy Belgian legend Eddy Merckx and the Spanish mountain specialist José Manuel Fuente.
