Olympia (Prologue) - Leni Riefenstahl & Vangelis



Uploaded by: babylonianman
Video Description:
The prologue of the 1938 film "Olympia" directed by Leni Riefenstahl. It features shots of the Acropolis, ancient statues, athletes and the lighting of the Olympic flame.
Olympia was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Music from the soundtrack of the Oliver Stone film "Alexander" (2004) composed by Vangelis. (The only cut I made to the video in order to match the music was in the last 15 seconds - the r
est of the film remains intact in sequence of scenes and speed.)

Sometimes it works...Take a score from an indifferent movie (Stone's Alexander) by a great film composer (Vangelis) and edit it to the opening scenes of a great filmmaker's masterpiece (Riefenstahl's Olympia), and the result is nothing less than magisterial.
Superb job on this, b-man!

Superb. Compare this to the digitally mastered piece of crap the Chinese just did. She understood the ancient Greek ethos of physical beauty. No one we have today can compare.

At first I thought these men were nude. Hard to tell in some shots. Odd that only male athletes are shown, after the camera had lingered on female sculptures. To my mind a lot of cinematography is no more that a stroll down the park.
