TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

A hit at the Sundance Film Festival, there was some speculation that the reason the festival was hacked was because of this film's presence in the line-up and the Russian authorities' need to suppress the revelations contained in the film.

The film was substantially edited after the premiere at Sundance Film Festival, where it was bought by Netflix. The new version debuted at Sundance London in June 2017 before being released on Netflix in August.

Icarus became the first documentary to be distributed primarily by a streaming service (Netflix) to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Oscar winner as Best Documentary Feature for 2017.

During the section in the film where Bryan Fogel finishes the race and is unhappy with his results, the soundtrack is a variation of the Take Shelter (2011) soundtrack by David Wingo.

Popular Dialogues

"Grigory Rodchenkov: Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involves the use of doublethink. I was doing in parallel two things which cancelled out each other and being fully contradictory. Doping and anti-doping."

"Grigory Rodchenkov: He wrote book. It is dangerous to write book in Russia."
