Expectation: shameless nazi-propaganda filled with hateful messages
Reality: 1936 Olympics highlights...

It is a delight to see Cronenberg return to his roots and still be able to create something so similar in its repulsivness yet still remain a modern era director. The whole film is a work of art, not in a arrogant meaning of word, but as it works largely as video- or performance art. The dialogues and plot are sometimes a little to confusing and a little too explanatory... Sometimes at the same time but as a whole it works.

Okay, this movie doesn't teach you important lessons on human condition nor is it realistic in any way. Those who will critisize it for being too predictable and characters for being cardboard stereotypes will have a point. Agree. Yet if Sight and Sound would ever want to look for an equivalent of a pop music hit song in film history this one here should be a contender. Free, unapologetic, vibrant and engaging. Constructed purely to be catchy and full of joy and energy. Not more not less... But you know, at the end of the day it's just an opinion.
