Games of the XXI Olympiad
1977, French. Directed by Jean Beaudin & Marcel Carrière & Georges Dufaux & Jean-Claude Labrecque.
Edited from almost 100 km of film footage shot during the Games, this feature documentary is a breathtaking portrait of the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Much more than a simple record of the Games, the film approaches each event with the intention of revealing the athlete - whether winner or loser - as a unique individual.
