Riefenstahl
Andres Veiel / DE, 2024 / 115 min.
Seen as a groundbreaking filmmaker, as well as a propagandist for Hitler’s Third Reich, Leni Riefenstahl did everything in her power to rewrite her tainted past. This documentary relentlessly exposes the lies. Biography of one of the most controversial filmmakers of the 20th century.
The ‘Bergsteiger’ films, in which men and women conquer the Alps with Teutonic intransigence (Das blaue Licht, 1932); the impressive footage of the NSDAP rally in Nuremberg (Triumph des Willens, 1935); the supple bodies of blond, Arian athletes, filmed from below (Olympia I and II, 1938); the photos of the African Nuba tribe; the underwater films, made in her old age: these make up the famous legacy of a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her aims.
