Olympia

"Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia (1938) is one of the most controversial films ever made. Capitalising on the success of Triumph of the will (1935), her propaganda film for the Nazi Party, Riefenstahl secured Hitler's approval for her grandiose plans to film the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The result was a work as notorious for its politics as celebrated for its aesthetic power. This revised edition includes new material on Riefenstahl's film-making career before Olympia and her close relationship with Hitler. Taylor Downing also discusses newly-available evidence on the background to the film's production that conclusively proves that the film was directly commissioned by Hitler and funded through Goebbel's Ministry of Propaganda and not, as Riefenstahl later claimed, commissioned independently from the Nazi state by the Olympic authorities. In writing this edition, Taylor Downing has been given access to a magnificent new restoration of the original version of the film by the International Olympic Committee."--Page 4 of cover.

  • ""Le nom de Leni Riefenstahl est indissociablement lié à la grande aventure du tournage du film officiel des XIe Jeux Olympiques d'août 1936, "Les dieux du stade" (Olympia). Ce document, unique en son genre, retrace les grands moments des Jeux. Bien plus qu'un simple reportage sportif, l'oeuvre de Leni Riefenstahl éclaire dans le monde entier les rapports étroits qu'entretiennent l'art et le sport."
