	Sport Journal, Leni Riefenstahl's "Olympia": Brilliant Cinematography or Nazi Propaganda?
		There are two parts to the film: the first begins with a history of the Olympic games, depicting the traditions of the ancient games in the city of Olympia and continues with many of the field events of the 1936 Berlin games; the second features the track and field events of the Berlin Games.
		It seemed that since "Olympia" was produced by the same Germany that was beginning to wreak frightful havoc on the world, it had become an assumption that "Olympia" contained a message in support of National Socialism.
		One of the strongest arguments supporting the notion that "Olympia" was a propaganda film (sociological) is also one of the strongest arguments supporting the notion that it was not a propaganda film: the perceived objectivity of the film and what appears to be an unbiased representation of the athletes, nations and games in general.

	Olympia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Film scholars often hail Olympia as an excellent example of Riefenstahl´s technical innovation in that she pioneered such cinematic techniques as montage footage and exhibited crafty and artistic manipulation of the camera; these praises are made with little consideration for the Nazi ideology that the film subtly carries.
		With such an inspired allegiance to this Aryan ideal, the film is clearly tainted by Riefenstahl´s fondness of Nazi ideology and cannot accept a positive evaluation based solely on its technical merits.
		Finally, in the second half of the film, the viewer sees more footage of semi- and even fully nude athletes exercising and relaxing in what seems to be the Olympic village, set apart from the urban landscape of Berlin.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl
		Triumph of the Will (1935), a deification of Hitler, and Olympia (1938), a paean to the "body beautiful" in the guise of a record of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, are studied in film schools as supreme examples of the documentary form.
		Olympia, and later her series of photography books on African tribes like the Nuba, brought charges from Susan Sontag and other intellectuals that Riefenstahl’s cult of the (male) body beautiful represented an unmistakable fascist ideal.
		The excuse for Kazan is that his films are treasurable works of popular art, and some no doubt felt that in such a situation, given the choice between adhering to principle and not working/eating or becoming a snitch and maintaining a career, they would do what he did.

		The film is not granted status as a “real Bond,” but it is noteworthy nevertheless that this film was the first that used Bond to cross the bridge from modernity to postmodernity.
		The film’s notion of Sir James Bond’s Edwardian superiority, the transformation of contemporary Bond into multiple copies, and the ultimate destruction of the villain as well as the hero(es) is the clear rejection of modernity for an openly mythic and transcendent solution to a technocratic world.
		It is little wonder that Olympia, often called the greatest sport film ever made, would provide the pattern for the image of the female body in a film series that has attempted to celebrate the physical cult of the space age and beyond.

		Many advanced motionpicture techniques, which later became industry standards but which were groundbreaking at the time, were employed, includingunusual camera angles, smash-cut editing techniques, extreme close-ups and the like.
		The techniques employed are almostuniversally admired, but the film is controversial due to its political content.
		Were it not for Riefenstahl's well-documented connection to Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi figures, the film wouldprobably be far less controversial.

		At the same time that Riefenstahl was mapping out her film in Berlin, she sent filmmaker Willy Zielke, an independent filmmaker who had been linked with the early Surrealists, to Greece.
		At some point, when doing practice film runs on trainings before the Olympics began, it was decided that these might be used as inserts into the actual events, shot later.
		Riefenstahl's repeated success at obtaining approvals, increases in funding, breaking free of the Reich's Propaganda ministry, and finally in attracting a young and energetic crew was all the more impressive in that she was a woman.

		Given unquestionable freedom, Leni Riefenstahl created a film which is bold in composition and visual aptitude.
		While many will say Riefenstahl was a pro-Nazi film maker, one cannot deny the innovation she instilled in the art of film making.
		If you can take the near 4-hour running time and the fact there is no dialogue in the film, then experience this film for the power and breathtaking visuals, not the supposed pro-Nazi agenda.

	Leni Riefenstahl Video Downloads (Part Two: Leni Riefenstahl Produktion)
		Note: There are two separate sequences from Olympia shown here: the first, with the introductory nature shots and the scenes showing the male athletes, are the opening scenes from Part II of the film (Fest der Schönheit); the second segment, showing the female dancers, is from Part I of the film (Fest der Völker).
		With regard to Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia, however, one must remember that it was Speer who was responsible for having created that aspect of the closing ceremonies, not Leni (indeed, Leni could hardly be said to be personally responsible for organizing any of the events which took place at the Olympic Games).
		Leni's Olympia showed that there was an eye to that storm, that beyond — and within — that Blitzkrieg there was peace, justice, truth and, indeed, something truly beautiful.

	vivamalta.org - Olympia 1936 - Documetary of excellence
		This failure of modern reviewers to point this out (at the time of Olympia's release, even her opponents acknowledged that the film held no propagandistic value) is not only an injustice to Leni and to her film, but is indeed an injustice to themselves.
		The significance of this is naturally not only because of his acheivements as an athlete in his own right (regardless of race), but the "slap in the face" that his successes at the 1936 Berlin Olympics were to the Nazi ideals of Aryan superiority.
		The closing shots of Olympia, which feature the famous "cathedral of light", is another beautiful example of Leni's skill at direction and editing, making exquisite use of Light, Shadow and Contrast, all synchronized beautifully with the Music of Herbert Windt.
