Commissioned by the 1936 Olympic Committee as a documentary on the Berlin Olympics, Riefenstahl combines the poetry of bodies in motion with close-ups of athletes in the heat of competitioon, including American track star Jesse Owen's sprint races. Some say that the production tends to glorify the young male body and express the Nazi attitude toward athletic prowress.
