Zusammenfassung:Stars and Water Carriers (1974): Jørgen Leth made a film about the international cycle race Giro d’Italia - without hiding the financial interests behind it - which appears to defend the idolisation of professional sports. In Leth’s own words, "I regard the world of sports as classical theatre whose heroes evoke classicals virtues, like those of mythology, and do legendary performances. This is the object of my praise and study". Belgian Eddy Merckx is the film’s real principal character, but the film also focuses on the time trial of the legendary Danish cyclist, Ole Ritter. [Beiheft]
The Impossible Hour (1975): A concentrated study of Ole Ritter's attempt to recapture the most compelling and most difficult record set in professional cycling: a one-hour, one-man race on a track. The attempts to break the record took place in Mexico City in November 1974. The film includes a description of Ritter's special training on a sophisticated purpose-built track bike and the psychological conditioning required for achieving a concentrated performance at this level. "The Impossible Hour" is an objective yet lyrically intimate study of a loner's defiant - and unsuccessful - attempt to make sporting history. [Beiheft]
