Olympia Japan edition?

[Janine Hansen]

Hi all,

 

it seems there were quite many versions of the two Olympia films, prewar and postwar. As far as I know English, French, and Italian export versions were made simultaneously to the German one. After WW2, there was at least one more German version which was even shown on TV under a different title and with all the references to Hitler cut.

 

I haven't read it yet but maybe the following article can be helpful:

 

Masumoto, Naofumi

Interpretations of the Filmed Body: An Analysis of the Japanese Version of Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia

Critical Reflections on Olympic Ideology

Centre for Olympic Studies

1994

pp. 146-158

 

Best wishes

Janine
