Olympia: Part Two – Festival of Beauty

Commissioned to make a propaganda film about the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany, director Leni Riefenstahl created a celebration of the human form. Where the two-part epic's first half, Festival of the Nations, focused on the international aspects of the 1936 Olympic Games held in Berlin, part two, The Festival of Beauty, concentrates on individual athletes such as equestrians, gymnasts, and swimmers, climaxing with American Glenn Morris' performance in the decathalon and the games' majestic closing ceremonies.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
