Description

The philosophy of individualism is embedded in motorcycling. The desire to be different and unique, is at the root of the motorcyclist's imagination. Modifying, customising, and changing bikes is at the very heart of the biker. Custom motorcycle culture has experienced a renaissance in recent years, and what was once a niche subculture now bears a significant influence on the international mainstream motorcycle industry. Filmed over three years, Oil In The Blood features interviews with almost 300 bike builders, riders, journalists, artists and racers from Britain, Europe, Japan, Australia, the Far East, Africa and the US alongside major manufactures Harley Davidson, Yamaha, Royal Enfield, Ducati and BMW. The very heartbeat of motorcycle culture has been brought together for the very first time in this brand new documentary film. This is not a film about motorcycles, it's about motorcycle people.

    I have a Ducati Scrambler for a year now and was attracted to the whole Motorcycle industry evolution that has been going on for a few years now. When I heated about “Oil in the blood” I was very excited. Watching this movie tonight was surprisingly more then I expected. It is really about people. People that are part of this evolution. A real honestly interviews about passion, art, fashion, and everything motorcycles. You can see different scenes of styles, from cafe racers, naked bikes, choppers, sport bikes, flat-track motorcycles, etc. Highly captured in camera and features legends in the customization industry. A must watch.

    Brilliant. This film manages to weave a vast array of starkly different threads, from styles and countries to unique personalities, and tell a simple human story about the folks behind the most desirable, one of a kind motorcycles in the world. The editing is exquisite. No voiceover montages, no shortcuts. Hundreds of interviews - a massive jigsaw puzzle - turned into one easy, sexy, delicious narrative
