Product Description

A powerful documentary that stands the test of time to show the extreme gift of one of history's best female directors. A woman under the Nazi regime in Germany, who became one of Adolf Hitler's most prized talents, Leni Riefenstahl created powerfully moving and beautifully visual films showcasing the 1936 olympics which were held in Berlin, Germany during the Nazi regime. See footage of national heroes who clebrated life and sport during the war-including footage of the famed African-American Jesse Owens who stood up against Hitler's chastisement to the US for allowing his entry, and who ran into Olympic history winning four gold medals. This package contains the award-winnning two-part film.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5* even without the Nazi context. That adds an extra element of fascination.
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023

Leni Riefenstahl was a true genius of a film maker. She was given a vast budget to document the 1936 Berlin Olympics and she did so in pioneering style. The camera positions and angles, the editing, the crowd scenes and the use of close-ups and slow motion were all superbly selected. These convey the Olympic spirit, effort and challenges magnificently.

The extra element is given by the Berlin 1936 context. All the Germans, but precious few of those from other nations, give Nazi salutes. We see plentiful shots of Hitler apparently enjoying the German successes. I say 'apparently' because in an interview in a different documentary, Riefenstahl states that Hitler was not really interested.

The controversy over Riefenstahl is magnificently presented in another 5* movie, The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl.

In watching Olympia, put that controversy to one side and revel in how her genius, allied to a vast budget, presents the definitive documentary about the Olympic Games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olympia
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2012

A beautiful Film, in its phoyography way ahead of the standard of the times.
By the way, I was there in Berlin at the time. a ten-year-old, and we boys knew "them" all., and everybody shared the excitement of the Games. Today, some call it a propaganda-film. I do not think it was. It refelcted exactly what was happening at the time. It is a sports film.. It is a fair presentation of what was happening at the games.
It is a beautiful film. I remember Jessi Owens and his German comptetitor Lutz Long, I remember the decathelon, and that never ending pole-vault till late into the night. I remember "Morris USA". The American sprinters, the relays.
We loved every minute of those two weeks. Had to read it in the paper or listen to the excitement on the radio. And have seen it on film now.
I thought the opening sequence of the girls dancing was a little stretched. which is my only negative comment to the film if that is "negative". It was beautiful, just a liitle too long.
I believe it was the first time, in 1936, that the torch was carried from Olympia in a relay through all the countries on its way to Berlin A sensation throughout Europe.
I really recommend the film for viewing to everybody who is interested in sports, the Olympic Games, and those times. It is an outstanding film for its time, in every of its detail.
By the way, I saw an American version of the film which showed Adolf Hitler geting all worked up when Jessie Owens ran his 10 sec. He did not. That shot was inserted. That was the actual scene with Adolf Hitler when the German relay girls, for the first time in history ahead of the US team, lost the baton at the last exchange.
My review? My recommendation! A beautiful film indeed, but remember it was made 76 years ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest Pathfinder Version Review
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2011

I purchased this version of Olympia and wanted to see many different ones because I was so inspired by the film . I also purchased a version by Art Haus on the German Amazon site amazon.de and another one by germanwarfilms.com that claims to have directly transfered it from a 16mm film . I used google translate when I purchased the one on the German Amazon site and can tell you this one has the best film quality of the three. But it all rests on what you want . If you want the absolute best quality get the Art Haus one.It has 3 discs and has Leni Riefenstahls African film features she shot in Africa.It also has her in an underwater film she made .But beware it is in the PAL format and will not play on a regular DVD player from the USA. I have a Philips Model # DVP5990 DVD Player that plays PAL DVDS on all regions that I paid about $75 for.I think I bought it online and it works great putting everything in 1080p if you want to go that route . Also there are no English Subtitles . Everything is in German . It cost $48 shipping included and took a little over a week to get to Tennessee from Germany.

The one from germanwarfilms.com is my favorite.It does not have all the extra stuff but I like the way it was put together ,so simple with a good film transfer .You feel the films essence in this one. It has English Subtitles. The Art Haus film quality is a 10 and this one a 7 and the Pathfinder a 5.

I like the Pathfinder version though for the many additional film clips such as some winter olympic footage ,boxing and fencing . It shows Hitler in the snow and has other clips that are not in any of the other ones. Has footage of thousands of athletes exercising at the same time.It has women doing exercises with what looks like bowling pins. It also has English subtitles.Best complete footage ,worst transfer . But I recommend them all . I watch all 3 from time to time to see the different features.

My Grandfather was 34 years old when this film was made and I can see the honesty and innocence of his generation. Everyone at the events wore suites and ties and the ladys wore dresses. There was no corporate sponsers advertisements in your face and no nike swimsuits. They put a wreath around their heads and the Lady athletes got a tree plant presented to them no doubt to take home and plant to grow and remember the event for years to come . All the boats were identical in the race and so was the bicycles . You had to be the better athlete to win in those days not a better boat or bicycle builder getting the advantage on lighter materials.

So nice to watch , and so nice of them to salute the beauty of the youth of our world at that time. Enjoy !

This pictorial review of the 1936 Olympics is a masterpiece of documentary film making. It also raises many questions about the event that need a historians help. The Wikipedia source can provide many answers.

I have not watched this actual disc as yet but I paid practically nothing for it. Riefenstahl's work is outstanding and the work she did for the 1936 Olympics was breathtaking. Other films by her are well worth watching provided you realise that she was first and foremost an artist. She never claimed to be a Nazi and regretted making Triumph of the Will. Some have rated her Olympics work as among the finest ten films ever made.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest and most important films of the 20C. It allows the historian to note the evolution in technical styles in a range of sporting activities. It allows the communications specialist to analyse the clever use of sport and sporting personality to enhance the message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tainted genius
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2008

This is a fantastic documentary and became the blueprint for subsequent documentaries.
Riefenstahl was an interesting character ruthlessly self centred, duplicitous, promiscuous but seems to have a magneticism and real ability at editing films (she shot indeterminate amounts of film and had open access to any official news footage). An unapologetic Nazi despite her apolitical assertions. Attractively fascinatingly evil.
