Check out the new Rapha Galibier film my friend Jeremy is in! I love how they spliced archival footage and the present day together and bridged the two worlds through sound design. Beautiful. I have my Galibier jersey at home, photos to come!

The movie transports its protagonist, played by Owen Wilson, back to the good old days of the Belle Epoque and 1920s Paris, and sees Allen concluding that, really, he would have been miserable during any age, golden or not.
