In 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, a titanic feat of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to millions, the saviour of cycling following the doping scandals which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap hotel room, from acute cocaine poisoning. He had been an addict for five years. This is the story of the tragic battles fought by the most important Italian cyclist of his generation; man versus mountain, athlete versus addiction, Marco Pantani versus himself.
Leave your thoughts about Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist.
| Total FilmPaul M. BradshawEssential watching, even for anyone who can't stand the sport. |
| The SkinnyD.W. MaultJames Erskine's film attempts to get inside this visceral world via the prism of the heroic Pantani, a man more loved than any cyclist in living memory. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonFilmmaker James Erskine gives even the most profoundly uninitiated viewer (such as me) plenty of opportunities to understand, cheer for, and mourn the man... |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotAn intriguing portrait of a man exposed as a drug cheat, yet who still commands a reverence that disgraced Lance Armstrong would give his eye teeth for. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichJames Erskine crafts an empathetic portrait of the athlete, who came from nothing to gain everything and then lose it all. |

| The ListEddie HarrisonThere's not quite enough compelling visual material to justify feature length. |
| GuardianMike McCahillThe tragedy of a premature death persists, and Erskine puts in enough legwork to keep the rest competitive. |
| Financial TimesAntonia QuirkePantani's ebullience and delight in his own talent always come through - he still commands the sort of respect Lance Armstrong (who appears here now and again, at his most hubristic) can only dream of. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsA solid, but very basic documentary profile of the tragically deceased giant of '90s cycling. |
