🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a direct, unfiltered record of a moment, relying entirely on the novelty of the Lumière cinematograph to capture spontaneous motion. It is cinema in its most fundamental form.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of witnessing a genesis — of both a global sport and the documentary impulse itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alexandre Promio
Best Watched
Watch as a historical artifact, with reverence for the birth of both film and sporting footage.
