A Bicycle for Pit is this quirky little short from 1968 that has a raw, underground vibe, with Carole Laure at the helm. The pacing is punchy, almost erratic, which kind of embodies that experimental spirit of the era. It’s a film that plays with themes of freedom and movement, all centered around this bicycle, which feels like a metaphor for something deeper, though it’s not always clear what that is. The practical effects here are simple but effective, adding to its charm. Laure's performance has a spontaneity that really draws you into this world, making it distinctly memorable in the landscape of short films, especially when you consider its later remake, Vroom... in 1970.
A Bicycle for Pit is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with limited formats available, primarily on obscure VHS or film prints. Its rarity adds a layer of intrigue for collectors, especially those drawn to avant-garde cinema. The short's connection to its 1970 remake Vroom... peaks interest, and it’s often discussed in the context of early underground filmmaking, making it a notable piece within niche collections.
