Mess
My favorite shots from Saving Private Ryan, something about the quick flash of a stack of sandwiches and hot coffee being poured always stuck with me. Suggested reading: Fuck Yeah Olive Drab

La Caravane
Stills taken from the 1962 short documentary Vive Le Tour, which someone was nice enough to upload a subtitled version onto youtube: parts 1 and 2. These festive trucks proceed the peloton throwing out all kinds of free stuff to spectators posted along the day’s stage. This year’s caravan was 20km long (about 12.5 miles) and consisted of 160 cars, it took 45 minutes for the entire thing to pass by.
Tweed
Some stills from the first of a three part BBC documentary on the history and current status of the Harris Tweed industry.
Never Let Me Go
Directed by Mark Romanek and shot by Adam Kimmel (Capote, Jesus’ Son, Beautiful Girls). I won’t get into details about what I didn’t like about this movie however I thought the photography was amazing as well as the wardrobes- chunky knits, wellies, etc.
A Sunday in Hell
A documentary on the 1976 Paris-Roubaix by Jørgen Leth featuring Eddy Merckx and Francesco Moser amongst other notable riders of the time. Although it’s not on netflix someone was nice enough to upload the entire film on youtube– lucky you.
