Overcoming- New film on CSC in the 2004 Tour
Due out this week in Denmark-
Fiction as fact: OVERCOMING is a film that will provide profound, penetrating insight behind the scenes of the hermetically closed world of professional cycling. With former pro rider, Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis as our protagonist, the film follows him and his new Team CSC closely as they strive for the impossible: to become the best in the world and win the Tour de France. The drama and excitement will unfurl like Kelly's Heroes: using the most unorthodox methods ever, the general (Riis) will forge a group of soldiers (the riders) from widely differing backgrounds into a single unit: a unit he will launch on an impossible mission. OVERCOMING is a frank, no-holds-barred portrait of a world few people can imagine: a world in which even the toughest go under as the team strive to realize their ambition. "If you want to win the Tour de France you must be prepared to eat your own ****!" With the classical narrative form from the world of fiction as our pattern, the roles will step into character one by one: the heroes, the villains, the champions, the rivals, the victims. The CSC Team includes: Ivan Basso, Carlos Sastre, Michele Bartoli, Jens Voigt, Bobby Julich, Jacob Piil, and the team's medical advisor: Ole Kaare Føli. http://www.nordisk.dk/ws/E_NewTitles.asp?film=771 |

There's a long (10 minute ?) preview/trailer that gives a good idea of the film. The style reminds me of Riget (The Kingdom), especially the music. |

It looks great though they're cutting it pretty close with the Tour.
Looks like the whole narrative depends on this particular team and this particular tour. I hope it gets released in the States soon. |

Procycling.com has an article about the film, and apparently the film
is about last year's tour and the "cooperation between Basso and Armstrong" or something like that. |

The Tyler film was an IMAX deal from the 2003 tour (something about how the brain works IIRC. This film is by a Danish director just about the 2004 tour (after Tyler had left the team.) |
