Hell Tour (DVD - 2004 - DE)

Hell tour on DVD

Year after year, hundreds of thousands of fans line the Tour de France route, cheering on their heroes and urging them to victory, while millions of viewers worldwide watch on television. Oscar-winning director Pepe Danquart, captivated by the spectacle of the three-week race, chose to focus on the courage, pain, and fear of the Tour riders. With his camera, Danquart focuses on German superstar sprinter Eric Zabel and his loyal domestique Rolf Aldag, capturing the tension of the race and the teamwork behind the stars of the peloton. He also shines a light on the supporting cast of the Tour – the directors sportifs, masseurs, and, of course, the passionate fans. HELL TOUR revels in the breathtaking scenery – from the Alps and the Pyrenees to the Massif Central and on to Paris – and, with a healthy dose of Tour history, the film transcends the sport it celebrates, revealing an astonishing human endeavor.

Directed by Pepe Danquart and Werner Schweizer
