München 1972: Frauen bei Olympia - Visions of Eight

[yaknbo]

The music in the Tourischeva piece is NOT the original music. Wolper must have re-scored it. I saw this movie ten times and I know the music by heart and it was much more appropriate than Borodin's Polovetsian Dance.

[antonyohara]

There's something about that era of Olympics that made them more memorable. Pre-hypercommercialization, Cold War tension, and of course terrorism.

The Canadian high jumper shown briefly a couple of times is Debbie Brill.

Love these 70s chicks in their 70s athletes' outfits with 70s music in the background and filmed in 70s style with 70s color film stock.

Too bad "Visions" isn't available on DVD: too obscure, I guess. It's a very good take on the games - and a concept that should be repeated. Ask 8 or 10 of the world's foremost directors to each focus on an aspect of the games. One can only imagine what Lars Von Trier, Steven Sodererbergh, Yang Zhimou, et al would do with it. "Visions" remains a testament to a very different time...the fulcrum between the Olympics as peacemaker and as forum for political grandstanding - of a violent nature.

[SFFOOL76]

There showing it at the Yuerba Buena Arts Center in San Francisco in late August.

[johnadamsisadrunk]

Is this a segment from the film "Visions of Eight"? Music by Henry Mancini.

[olympia72de]

You're right.

[johnadamsisadrunk]

Good things come to those who wait! I last saw it on BBC TV prior to the 1976 olympics

Thanks for posting this and all the other 1972 olympic-themed videos.
