Arnie flexes philosophy in 8 minutes of pure 70s muscle art.
The film consists of unprocessed, original 16mm material, which VanLoo shot during the Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding contest in the 1970s, and comes from an unfortunately lost art installation. Arnold Schwarzenegger, presented here as a living work of art, gives his vision on classical sculpture, body and mind, ideal beauty and more.
