Saw that a few weeks ago.
Good stuff.
I think the other film "Stars and Watercarriers" is also there.
It didn't just "seem" important - it "was" important!!!
I remember going to watch A Sunday in Hell in a dusty old Church Hall in about 1978 with a load of other club cyclists - all travelling from miles around - it seemed so distant, so exotic (and that was just the Church Hall!)....days when you used to stand in wonder in Harry Halls old shop by Manchester Cathedral - looking at Campag Super Record gear that you couldn't even dream of ever owning....those were the days indeed!
Long before the advent of any of these:
VCRs, let alone YouTube
0% finance (or even credit cards!) - if you can't afford it, you can't have it!
Budget deficits, fuel prices (fuel priced in gallons then, of course - as it should be), gas bills, mortgages, children, wife, responsibility, work....
Oh well, off for a whistful rest of the morning.....and to reflect on how old I've got!
