| Brief Description: | Utilizing over 100 cameras, Kon Ichikawa captured the essence of competition and the beauty of the human form at the 1964 Summer Olympics. The director was commissioned by the Olympic committee to make a film that would convey the athletic excellence of the event. Not being a sports fan, he chose to present the events in a way that would express the art and beauty involved. "I tried to grasp the solemnity of the moment when man defies his limits," Ichikawa said of his work, "and to express the solitude of the athlete who, in order to win, struggles against himself. I wanted people to rediscover with astonishment that wonder which is a human being." In Japanese with English subtitles. |
