The High Life is a fascinating dive into the psyche of Robert Millar during his remarkable 1984 Tour de France journey. The film captures a unique moment in cycling history, focusing on Millar’s introspections and the emotional landscape of competitive sport. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing viewers to linger on his thoughts about pressure and personal achievement. The atmosphere is raw, and the practical effects are minimal—just a lot of real footage that gives it an authentic feel. You really get a sense of what it was like to be in the spotlight, with the camera almost being a companion to Millar, rather than just an observer. It’s a study of pressure, identity, and what it means to strive for greatness.
