Not sure I’m sold on the synch-up of the music (Pink Floyd’s uber-psychedelic dreamscape “Quicksilver” from the criminally overlooked soundtrack to More) but this footage, from Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia is –and no other word will do– mesmerizing. (The clip from about 1.40 – 2.00 warrants repeated viewings: the balletic grace and the sheer perfection of the camera angle all framed by the Colosseum-like backdrop is breathtaking: it is a slow motion sequence of art and life imitating one another in real time.)
