Synopsis
This documentary of the 1972 Summer Olympics, held in Munich, is remarkable for bringing eight of the world's most notable film directors to work on it. They are:
Milos Forman
,
Yuri Ozerov
,
Mai Zetterling
,
Arthur Penn
, Michael Pfleghar,
Kon Ichikawa
,
Claude Lelouch
and
John Schlesinger
. Each director concentrated on events that were of interest to him and filmed in his own style. For instance, Foreman focused on the comic aspect of the games; Lelouch kept his sights on the losers rather than the winners; and Mai Zetterling examined obsession in the form of weightlifting. The movie does not attempt to comprehensively document the '72 Olympics and does not aim for a unified vision. Instead, it showcases the talents of these directors under the inspiration of this most dramatic of gatherings. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
