One of the most controversial women of the 20th century, Leni Riefenstahl became world famous with her glorifying Nazi propaganda films Triumph of the Will and Olympia, but always denied any close ties or insight into the regime of the Third Reich.
This captivating exploration of Reifenstahl’s life and work uses extensive materials from her private estate – including films, photos, recordings and letters – to understand her motivations, sensibilities and her long career beyond the fall of Nazism. In countless TV appearances and interviews, she defends the artistry of her work, and in private recordings she mourns her ‘murdered ideals’, as she strives to control and shape her legacy.
Both detailed and complex, Riefenstahl is as disturbingly revealing about human nature as it is about the filmmaker herself.
