ANY OLYMPIA RECOMMENDATIONS? (1 Viewer)

[PODER]

Can anyone recommend a good DVD or Blu Ray of Riefenstahl's OLYMPIA. It's hard to winnow out anything
really worth watching. This is apart from the Criterion 100 YEARS, which I can't afford. Any help would be
more than welcome.

Olympia is a Public Domain movie. Every version I checked out online seems to be the same quality because of being from the same source. Reviews varied a lot, so I went for a $10 version from eBay China. If a single Blu Ray is ever released, I doubt I will purchase it unless there is a dramatic increase in quality.

There is an HD transfer floating around somewhere .. it looked pretty good to my eyes.
I haver the version Robert mentions but on a European label; it's passable.
I'll wait for Criterion to release it. They have promised to put it on Blu ray as a standalone item from their huge Olmpic film box set. And so they should .. it's an essential part of world film history.
