Brevet – The Movie

Paris – Brest – Paris

Paris-Brest-Paris. 1230 Kilometers, at a stretch, day and night, in 90 hours maximum, 6000 randonneurs fighting hills, fatigue and the ticking clock.

Beautiful. I watched this film the first time some years ago and then again recently with my son Emil. Later I learned, one of the main actors, Claus Czycholl, unfortunately passed away on March 1, 2024, at the age of 81.

The movie page on curlypictures.com has nice impressions. In the past the film could be purchased through vimeo.com, but I think that is not possible anymore, at least in Germany. Other places to get the film are amazon.de and norockjustroll.com.
