Review of Downhill Racer (1969) by Steve G — 30 Mar 2010
"Downhill Racer" has aged surprisingly well, with some pretty great first-person shots of going down a ski-hill. Redford is compelling as the brash American hopefull. Throughout, David Foster Wallace's "How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart," kept coming to mind as having more to say about sports by working through cliches than this film would like to by consciously avoiding them.
