3 out of 5 stars great movie, terribly rendered   October 16, 2008
I want to know who decided that the sort of people who want to see an old art film wouldn't care about the visual quality...

The quality of the restoration is terrible. You spend the first 15 minutes getting used to the well-used-VHS-tape quality. After that you can usually forget about it, but from all accounts one of the things that made this film great was how Riefenstahl used shading, details, fading... And that's just not visible here.

Even so, this is a great movie. Riefenstahl invented half the techniques that she uses here, and does them better than they're usually done today. Plus, the Olympics are just made for her type of movie making. She clearly loves spectacle and athleticism, and she does a good job of making you love them too.

I'm glad I saw this movie. I want to see it again, but I might wait until I find a cleaner version.



3 out of 5 stars 5 star film / 0 star transfer   May 2, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have watched many historical b&w films with poorer transfers/more distortion than this, so it isn't UNWATCHABLE to me. I think many reviewers are spoiled by HD clarity in movies, you can't expect clear visual perfection in a 70+ year old film. That said, I'm echoing the other reviewers' disappointment in the overall quality because this film is such a visual masterpiece. I expect much more effort to be put into it as a project, more respect for the material. This is obviously a VHS tape transfer, and I think 'ARCHIVAL COLLECTION' is misleading. If you don't mind distortion/scratches and really NEED to see this film, this DVD is just OK. I have seen a much cleaner version of this film on television once, bright and clear (must have been that Criterion laserdisc everyone talks about). I hope a cleaned up, proper version of this lovely film will be available on DVD, but until then this one will do. 3 stars altogether.


1 out of 5 stars How could they?   March 3, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

My parents took me to see Olympia at a Dartmouth College screening when I was younger. I have never forgotten the visual and creative impact of this film. Nothing comes remotely close to it's mystical and artistic beauty. I have waited in vain for a theater to re-release it or for there to be a screening of this masterpiece. Now I find that the DVD has been marred. Just because her politics were confused her magnum opus has to be destroyed? Not fair, not fooled. This is a glorious example of human artistic achievement. How could anyone disrespect it to this extent? Do they think they are "punishing" her? Shame on Criterion.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible quality   January 6, 2008

Very disappointing. The images are washed out: no definition, no crispness. Even as a reference copy it would be a strain on the eyes. Hard to understand why such a well known documentary was released in this poor condition.


4 out of 5 stars The Standard For Sport Film   August 23, 2007
Excellent and beautiful film. It is a technical masterpiece and Reifensthal's camera work and eiting sets a standard that modern sport reporting has sadly forgotten in its quest to report without art.

This copy would have gotten a 5 star rating, however it is a rather shabby copy of a videotape and as soon as a new restored digital version is available forget this one and purchase the new one.

Still, the art value of this work makes it a must purchase. Reifensthal's connection with Hitler and his inner circle puts her accomplishments in film as questionable in the minds of some, however, art should be separated, in my humble opinion, from ideology. Her art is of the highest quality and to that end I highly suggest this DVD (with the reservation on quality that I've mentioned).
