Olympia Part One: Festival of the Nations
APR 21, 1938 · 127 MIN · DIR. LENI RIEFENSTAHL
Starting with a long and lyrical overture, evoking the origins of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, Riefenstahl covers twenty-one athletic events in the first half of this two-part love letter to the human body and spirit, culminating with the marathon, where Jesse Owens became the first track and field athlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.
