Kon Ichikawa examines the beauty and rich drama on display at the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo, creating a record of observations that range from the expansive to the intimate. Trailer.
This is such a stunning movie. I haven't seen it in years but there's one bit in particular, where the camera focuses on the faces of rifle competitors as they prepare to fire, deforming their faces as they push the stocks against their cheeks, that's just absolutely bizarre and sublime.
