One Day in September review

A worthy winner of an Oscar into Most outstanding Documentary, this dynamic, polemical account of the Black December terrorist rush on Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics - which left 11 Israeli dead - is a audacious attempt to pump late-model energy into documentary storytelling. The film-makers should prefer to gathered an impressive list of witnesses, including Ankie Spitzer (widow of the murdered fencing coach), Hans-Dietrich Genscher (the government negotiator, later on Foreign Minister), Zvi Zamir (chief of Mossad) and, not least, the model surviving fellow of the terrorist line-up, Jamal Al-Gashey. Innovative editing and multi-perspective techniques, plus computer modelling and graphics, and the top-hole camerawork of Alwin (Ratcatcher) Küchler result in a fascinating documentary in thriller mode, accompanied by a heterogeneous, tension-boosting rock score. The film manages to invite out in its entirety account of the sensibilities of the victims’ family and friends, while also fashioning a compelling condemnation of the sorry information of incompetence, callousness and ambiguous-standards, if not unthinking racism and outright illegality, on the principally of the German authorities.
