Snows of Grenoble is a documentary film released in France on December 27, 1968, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-one minutes. The film documents the tenth Olympic Games held in Grenoble in 1968. Directed by filmmakers Ertaud and Languepin, the production utilizes a subjective camera approach, incorporating techniques such as cutting out the eyes and slowing down movement to capture the pulse of the events. The dominant figure featured in the documentary is French athlete Jean-Claude Killy, who achieved three gold medals matching Toni Sailer's feat from 1956. The filmmakers anticipated his winning streak by including commentary from Killy as he prepared for each race. The film also provides insightful coverage of other competitors, including women's slalom winner Marielle Goitschel and coverage for ice dancing fans of the winner Ole.
