"Triplets of Bellevue"
... it is about as much a bicycle movie as was Harold
and Maud.
=v= How many movies can boast the following:
o Someone finding his/her true calling, liberty, joy,
and (*ahem!*) optimal physique with a bicycle?
o Someone truing a wheel at the dinner table?
o A bicycle-powered record player?
o The absolute pinnacle of computer-generated imaging, finally
being used for the noblest purpose possible: animating the
movements of bicycles?
o Le Tour?
o A butcher's shop window display featuring a moving
stuffed pig on a bicycle with tires made from links
of sausages?
o A snippet from Jacques Tati's _Jour_de_Fête_?
I was glad to go see it but I wouldn't see it a second time.
=v= I saw it twice, each time surrounded by bike freeeks. :^)
