With the release of the trailer for new Schleck Brothers’ documentary ‘The Road Uphill’, the cycling community has been almost audibly crackling with excitement. Director Jean-Louis Schuller has previous turned his camera on the gambling culture of speculation and addiction in Macau and Hong Kong, but now focuses on team Leopard Trek and the Schleck Brothers’ preparation for the 2011 Tour de France. Described as ‘(an) intimate cinematic portrait of two brothers and a team who are under pressure to live up to the expectations of their country’ Schuller explores the contradictions and conflictions that arise from Luxembourg having, not one, but two equally important national heroes.
