Last night The Triplets of Belleville opened at the theater five blocks from my house, the Rialto (built in 1924): http://www.seeing-stars.com/Images/slides/Rialto1.JPG

If you love the images of the 50s Tour de France you have to see this movie! And the part where the protagonist, Champion Souza, returns home after doing some hill training prior to entering the Tour will have you actually laughing out loud!

Champion headed for the broom wagon: http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0286244/1.jpg

Race leader on the podium with the podium girls: http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0286244/11.jpg

Don't miss this one!
