Explores Leni Riefenstahl’s artistic legacy and her complex ties to the Nazi regime, juxtaposing her self-portrayal with evidence suggesting awareness of the regime’s atrocities.
It is sobering and profoundly eerie to watch this masterful documentary about “Hitler’s favourite film-maker” Leni Riefenstahl in the festival that awarded her a gold medal for Triumph of the Will in 1935…
★★★★
Riefenstahl does not come to praise or reclaim the late director, but nor does it mean to bury her. It acknowledges her as a trailblazer… But the film also demonstrates the ways in which her work is inextricably linked to nazism
★★★★★
