Never before has there been such a figure as Leni Riefenstahl. A brilliant, ingenious and groundbreaking early filmmaker whose innovative techniques are commonplace today, she made the fatal mistake of putting her talent to work for the baddest bad guys the world has ever known -- The Nazis.
This film does a more than credible job of revealing the conflicting truths about this remarkable woman.
Anyone interested in how art and politics influence each other, interested in the history of film-making or the history of propaganda should go out of their way to find and watch this film.
Highly recommended.
