"The Cyclist" A visually
sophisticated film which deals with the themes of man's exploitation of man and the
inequities between rich and poor. The cyclist is Nassim, an Afghan refugee in need of
money to pay his wife's medical expenses. With work difficult to come by, a sleazy
promoter suggests he undertake a bicycle marathon. Touting him as the Afghani superman,
the huckster wagers that Nassim will circle a small area on the outskirts of town, day and
night, for a week. Gamblers, bookies and food vendors gather to watch the desperate
cyclist from the sidelines, turning his suffering to their own profit. Winner of the Best
Film at the Riminicinema Film Festival. Farsi with English subtitles. |
