A  cyclist friend lent me a movie yesterday.  Brigitte and Brigitte / U p and Down: The Films of Luc Moullet (1966).  It was from Netflix.  Par t two of the double feature, Up and Down, follows a crazy team of cyclists as they take on the steep slopes of the Alps.  Classified as absurdist fi lms, they are what I guess what my daughter would refer to as quite random.     Seems like everyday people on a wide assortment of mostly low-to- mid quality bikes in this rally over the Parpillon pass.  It will appeal to cyclists especially, and although it's filled with errors, I got a few c huckles out of it.
