Force et beauté
Mar 16, 1925C’est dans les années 1920 qu’émerge en Allemagne la "Körperkultur", mouvement de masse célébrant le corps sain, la culture physique et les activités de plein air, et qui sera exacerbé jusqu’au culte une décennie plus tard dans l’idéologie nazie. Premier film documentaire long produit par l’UFA, "Force et beauté" s’inscrit parfaitement dans cette mouvance. Les séquences qu’il présente, tantôt instructives tantôt insolites (reconstitutions de combats de lutteurs de la Grèce antique, chorégraphies expressionnistes ou scènes de danse des quatre coins du monde), mettent en scène un certain nombre d’athlètes célèbres. On y retrouve notamment le nageur (et futur Tarzan) Johnny Weissmuller, ainsi qu’une toute jeune Leni Riefenstahl, qui y fait sa première apparition au cinéma en tant que danseuse.
