In 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro dItalia, a titanic feat of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to millions, the savior of cycling following the doping scandals that threatened to destroy the sport, but his addiction ultimately caught up with him. Reviews: Stunning portrayal of a great sporting tragedy ****--Rouleur [Director James] Erskines moving documentary must portray its conflicted subject in absentia, with friends and relatives (his mother is heartbreaking) reporting his disillusionment with the world of cycling, which he tellingly branded a mafia. The film sidesteps any definitive conclusions, and the dramatized reconstructions jar, but youre left with the impression that the charismatic Pantani was more sinned against than sinning. - Mark Kermode, Observer Film Critic James Erskines documentary delves into the sad, fascinating details, painting Pantani as a victim and the world of competitive cycling as corrupt. - Paul Bradshaw, gamesradar January 18: Warren Millers No Turning Back.
