Need help finding R2 version of Olympia (1 Viewer)

[Enrique B Chamorro]

I need help finding a source to order the R2 version
of the 1936 "Olympia".
I believe it is a German or Dutch DVD.
See the following review;
http://www.dvdinside.de/reviews/Olympia.html
My daughter is doing a report on Riefenstahl
and it would be very helpful.
I have an Apex, so PAL R2 is not a problem.
It is more of a problem knowing which source would
be the easiest and most helpful in selling it and
shipping it to the Chicago land area, without it
costing an arm and a leg.
Thanks for any help.
Enrique

If it's German, probably the easiest would be http://www.amazon.de
You can use your existing Amazon account with it

...at a hefty 24,95Euros for each DVD, these two movies don't come cheap...
...it is also incomprehensible (to me!) why these films were released separately, instead of as a set ... (...I'm sure the French would have done a much better job, in that respect!...)
...transfer is ok, image is just ok, sound is barely ok...
...however, and of course!, the historical -and cinematographic- 'value' of the discs is much more than that... which makes it all the more regrettable that no attempt was made to create a 'Special Edition' ... (...I'm sure the French would have done a much better job in that respect, too!...)
...on a side note: Ms. Riefenstahl's purely aesthetic approach to filming athletes' seemingly effortless performances (beautiful bodies executing astonishing feats - not a drop of sweat in sight) offer a fascinating contrast to Kon Ichikawa's way of seeing; in the latter's "Tokyo Olympiad" (recently released by Criterion) we are made very aware of how much effort -and sweat- are expended to accomplish such feats...
