Audience Member A thorough documentary about Italy's great Marco Pantani. Which really portrays the pressure on every professional cyclist to reach success at any cost. After seeing this film, it's clear how every cyclist in this era has been exposed and pressured to perform and often times encouraged to dope so they may gain an advantage....As it turned out nearly everyone was doping and by participating in doping, you were really only attempting to compete on a level playing field. So ultimately even though the entire system of pro cycling was corrupt, it was the cyclists who were the real victims of the game. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 7/18/15 Netflix An absorbing doc about a super human bike racer that proved all too human. His fall from grace was more dramatic and disastrous than Lance Armstrong's, probably because of the popularity of bike racing in Europe. The film maker gives a sympathetic and fair assessment of Pantanis life, one started out so wonderfully and ended so tragically. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member "There's someting about cycling. It's a sport for loners." Heartbreaking. Beautifully made, with those sunflowers as silent witnesses to what is going on in this sadly corrupted sport. This one is now right up there with my favourite documentaries of all time: 'Dreams of a Life', 'Touching the Void' and 'Finding Vivian Maier'. I'm so happy that the Italian speakers weren't silenced with an English voiceover. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Es entretenido el documental, pero solo sirve para confirmar que el ciclismo hace muchos años que es un deporte corrupto. Es imposible no dudar cuando todas las grandes estrellas, todos los ídolos, han caído víctimas de la EPO y otros productos. Se perdió la batalla.... igual que Pantani. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best sport documentary films I have seen. Up there with Senna & TT Closer to the Edge. With limited interest in cycling and no knowledge of this guy or 'his story' found this absolutely captivating. Have no bought the DVD! A must watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A by the numbers documentary that is solidly put together but belongs more on the 온라인카지노추천 rather than the cinema. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
