If you loved Triumph des Willens, try Olympia - Fest der Völker
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Leni Riefenstahl, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Triumph des Willens, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Olympia - Fest der Völker is
Triumph of the Will without Nazis. The first half of Riefenstahl's diptych covers the 1936 Berlin Olympics, from opening ceremonies to track-and-field events. A showcase for bodies in motion, if not exactly sportsmanship.
