Special screening of "A Sunday in Hell" - was created by Louise Keane
Paul O'Donoghue, who many of you will know from the world of Audaxing, has been in touch about a special screening of the movie "A Sunday in Hell" - the classic Paris-Roubaix movie.
The movie will be shown in The Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray on Monday the 5th of November. William Fotheringham who has written a book on the subject will also be present to give a talk on same.

About the movie and the writer:
In 1976 a little-known Danish film maker, Jorgen Leth, embarked on an ambitious project to capture the spirit of cycling’s toughest and cruellest Classic, Paris-Roubaix, in a new and epic way. Leth tried to show every significant moment during the day, to portray its heroes – Roger de Vlaeminck, Eddy Merckx, Freddy Maertens – as mythical figures, and used radical techniques - the helicopter mounted Wescam, an experimental choral soundtrack - and the finest cameramen of the day. The result was probably the finest-ever depiction of a single-day cycle race, a film that has itself become a Classic. Best selling writer William Fotheringham has written a widely praised “biography” of Leth’s meisterwerk – how it was conceived and made and what became of the men and the places in it – and will be on hand to answer questions about the film and its maker.
