TOKYO OLYMPIAD
"The Man’s Picture… Every Woman Will Love!"
Directed by Kon Ichikawa
This impressionistic portrait of the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics pays as much attention to the crowds and workers as it does to the actual competitive events. Highlights include an epic pole-vaulting match between West Germany and America, and the final marathon race through Tokyo's streets.
