Cycling film that is so much more

I watched this because it was a cycling film but it was so much more than a simple sports film. On the surface it is about the rivalry between K and Eetu to be top dog on a local Finnish cycling team (and later a love rivalry for Oona), with the three main characters all working for the same bike messenger company.

Eetu is the number one cyclist in the cycling team but K beats him in a local race changing the status quo. As an aside, it is mainly a roadie bike film but there is some underground MTB training in a local mine.

But it is more than a cycling film - it is also a film about ambition, love, friendship and life. How many Finnish films have you watched- I can't think of any? This film works on all levels- it has a story, some action and the cinematography is also good. It may be a "small" film but it is worth 90 minutes of your time.

great!

one of the best sports movies i've seen so far! Cyclomania is a film about cycling (of course) but what's more important - it's a sensitive study about ambition, envy and friendship. dynamic and realistic sports filming plus great acting and directing make this film a 10 / 10.

This one works....

The Finnish film-industry has several severe problems; one of them, and maybe the biggest, in my opinion, is that some directors try too much. They believe that mixing all genres into one makes a good film, e.g. Hymypoika, Game Over, Kuutamolla, the Levottomat-trilogy. This often turns the film into saucy pieces of junk. This film on the other hand has a straight direction. It doesn't have any nudity (only one sex-scene which reveled almost no skin, which is odd for a Finnish movie), it concentrates strictly on the plot(which most Finnish films lack), it has a beginning, a middle part and an end. And most importantly, it has working actors. The film turns out to be a working piece of art(because art is what it is). I simply loved the snorri-cam-parts and the beautiful Finnish landscapes. Two Big Thumbs Up for Director Simo Halinen!!
