Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for people who get choked up at a comeback and anyone interested in what war does to people. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. A good follow-up to Triumph of the Will. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The film chronicles the story of how the Nazis and the IOC turned, to their mutual benefit, a small sports event into the modern Olympics. The grand themes and controversial issues from the 1936 Games have continued to this day: Monumentality, budget overruns, collusion with authoritarian regimes, corruption and sometimes even bribery.
