Pantani: Accidental Death of a Cyclist. Read the book, whether you see the film or not. The book,obviously, goes into so much more detail than a film ever can. It is definitely worth watching the film and reading the book as the film depicts the racing scenes much better than a book ever can, but... the book goes into so much more detail on the sad life that enveloped Marco Pantani after the success of his Tour De France and Giro D'Italia successes in 1998. I had tears in my eyes at the end of the book as it conveyed his downfall so much better than the film could possibly manage. This is one of those times when you have to delve deeper and read the full story. And even someone who is as anti-doping as me felt so strongly on the impact it had on a man who died too young. And yes, I don't believe it was suicide.

"Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist" is a documentary with two sides: it captures both the beauty of cycling as well as it tells the tragic story of Marco Pantani. Marco Pantani should be placed in a long tradition of mythical climbers in cycling's history (Charly Gaul, Federico Bahamontes, Lucien Van Impe, Lucho Herrera, to name a few). These type of riders attack whenever the road goes up, trying to drop their opponents with many accelerations. By doing so, they become among the most popular in the world of cycling. Most of the time, these cyclists don't win Grand Tours like the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia, because for winning you need to be both a great climber as well as a decent time trialist (which is not their specialty). However, once in a while one of these iconic, lightweight climbers can outperform their counterparts and win the biggest races on the planet. In my opinion, the director captures the beauty of the climber and cycling by telling the story of Marco ("The Pirate") Pantani (winner of both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia in 1998). Footage of the cyclist Pantani is shown, from images of youth races to his famous acceleration in the mountains (with his victory on the stage to Les Deux Alpes in the Tour de France of 1998 as my personal favorite). At the same time, the sounds of cycling (the pedals, the wind, the wheels on the asphalt) are being heard, interrupted once in a while by (former) cyclists and journalists speaking in admiration about Pantani. The basics of cycling are also set out for people unfamiliar with the sport, without it being a pain in the ass for a cycling fanatic. Simultaneously, the documentary tells and tries to explain the story of Pantani's life and its tragic ending. Family and friends are telling their sides of the story and the dark side of the EPO-era in cycling (1990s-2000s) is explored. By doing so, the director gives in my opinion a well-balanced answer on the unanswerable question: where did it go wrong with Marco Pantani?

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist (2014) I absolutely loved this cyclist. He was perhaps the most entertaining cyclist ever and adored by millions. But he betrayed us all (like most of his generation) because he was a drug cheat. The documentary was well structured and largely chronological. It features his parents, former friends and coaches and some prominent faces from the cycling community. It engenders much warranted sympathy. The struggles and horrific injuries he endured. The joy he gave to his fans. The path he reluctantly went down and how his demise may have been cynically accelerated. I did find it too sympathetic though. Perhaps there was no other way for it to be made or the sympathies feel dated for every post Armstrong year that passes, but after enjoying the first hour (and knowing what was to come) I became uncomfortable with the tone. Maybe because my "wound(s)" will never quite heal, maybe the subject matter is too personal? It does spell out the manner of his sporting demise, though is more reticent to overtly express the reasons behind his actual demise. No one quite sticks the knife in as to the "crime" he committed. Maybe because it's harder to speak ill of the dead? SEVEN

Such a sad story about a man with a remarkable ability to climb the mountains faster than I can go down hill. I don't know if anyone will ever ascend like Pantani did. But then come crashing down so quickly.

If you're a cycling fan you'll love this documentary, maybe not a 10 star, but gave it that to get the rating up. People don't realise how hard this sport is physically, then throw in all the other stuff they have to deal with. This man was unreal, I've never seen anybody climb like him, it was magical. Such a sad loss.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist tells the rise and fall story of one of the most celebrated cyclists of recent years. In 1998, Marco Pantani won the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France. An achievement that has never been repeated since on account of the extreme endurance levels required to win both races. Unfortunately, doping allegations effectively ended his career and he went into a downward spiral ending in a cocaine related death in 2004. Director James Erskine is no stranger to the sports documentary. Just last year I was fortunate enough to attend the premiere of Battle of the Sexes, his film about Billie Jean King's match with the chauvinistic Bobby Riggs. It was an excellent film, with drama, history and heart. It remains frustratingly little seen which is unbelievable. With 'Pantani' Erskine returns to similar territory but with less impressive results. The story certainly has potential but it's not always told in the most interesting manner. Pantani himself is shown to be an incredible athlete who had an extraordinary ability to climb and descend high gradients but he is never really someone who we ever truly connect with in this documentary. We don't get to learn much of his character; consequently his tragedy has less impact than it should. While the film does take quite a hazy view of the doping allegations that ultimately undid him which makes things unnecessarily unclear. His death also is only briefly covered. These negative story elements are crucial to the narrative and it would have been better if they had been covered more in depth, directly and objectively. These considerations aside, this is still a well-made documentary. It takes the talking heads format but also has a lot of material from the time, with some good cycling footage. I personally had not even heard of Marco Pantani before seeing this and I only knew very general things about cycling as a sport. It was very educational on these fronts. One of the points it also makes is that professional athletes at the top of their sports are often merely just pawns in a big money machine; once they fall from their perch they can be disregarded because they are no longer of use to the business. Pantani seemed to be an example of this and it was directly responsible to his untimely death. It's a sad story for sure.

A human story. After breaking his leg he came back. He became the only man to back-to- back the Tour de France and Tout de Giro (which from the movie I gathered is another huge race.). He was a hill climber and a tiny guy. The leg break was because some moron let a car out on the course! He hit it on the downhill where they do 60. He spent a year in the pool recovering. There was doubt he'd ever walk again ... From there I leave it to you. After the accident, he had external metal plates holding his leg together. He looked completely broken. In an interview someone said "will your body ever heal?," and he said something to the effect: "It's not the body it's the mind. Compared to the mind the body is nothing." Truly an inspirational story. One of the other cyclists said: "I do judge a man by the decisions he makes. But those decisions cannot be judged in isolation." I found that thought provoking. On Netflix.
