TAUNTON CYCLING FILM NIGHT, 16 JANUARY: The Guardian's William Fotheringham introduces a rare cinema screening of 'A Sunday in Hell', the classic documentary on Paris-Roubaix, cycling's toughest one-day race.'A Sunday in Hell' is widely regarded as one of the greatest sport films ever made. Danish director Jorgen Leth's revolutionary film-making techniques capture the unique atmosphere of the race, as riders led by Eddy Merckx take on the gruelling, cobble-strewn course on a hot, dusty day in 1976.
William Fotheringham is the author of a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film: 'Sunday in Hell: Behind the Lens of the Greatest Cycling Film of All Time'. William will tell us some of the inside story of the film and the race, and there will be a Q&A after the screening.
