- Summary
- 'Sunday in Hell' is an iconic documentary about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix Classic, made by the Danish director Jørgen Leth. Leth's mission was to capture the spirit of this magnificent one-day spectacle through the cobbled roads of northern France and legends of the sport such as Eddy Merckx and Roger de Vlaeminck. He did so using revolutionary camera and sound techniques which improved the experience of watching cycling on screen forever. This book looks at the men and the places behind the film: Leth and his work, the cyclists such as Merckx, De Vlaeminck and the ill-fated winner Marc Demeyer and revisits locations which have changed little to this day.
