CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)
DATE REVIEWED: 11/30/2016
FORMAT: Laserdisc
TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 60 minutes
DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 13.6 miles
TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 5677.6 miles
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: How we train ourselves to look at life differently as we age and to learn to see what isn’t there, as opposed to what is obviously there.
PROS AND CONS: I am going to be biased here. I do a lot of film photography and one of my earliest influences was Ansel Adams. So this was a really great film.
In this documentary, Adams recounts his life and the techniques that he uses to produce some of his iconic landscapes. For the avid darkroom addict, this is really good stuff.
What you walk away with is a fascinating documentary of what might be appear to be an ordinary life, but in the end turns out to be an extraordinary life. To see Adams sitting with Georgia O’Keefe talking about their friend Alfred Steglitz was just the icing on the cake.
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
