Ghislain Lambert's Bicycle
Comedy
In the 70s, there was Merckx and there were the others. Ghislain Lambert was one of the others. This is his story, a quite simple one. The story of a modest Belgian bike racer. His greatest ambition in life? To become a champion. His greatest tragedy? Not having the legs his heart deserves.
VIBE
A gentle, often funny, look at a nearly-great cyclist. It's a film that understands the quiet ache of almost succeeding, wrapped in the nostalgic charm of 70s European cycling culture. A bittersweet, character-focused experience.
