Games of the XXI Olympiad (1977)

Directed by Jean-Claude Labrecque, Georges Dufaux, Jean Beaudin, Marcel Carrière

Documentary · 1h 58m

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.
