- Synopsis:
Beginning with Riefenstahl's early days as a leading actress in the 1930s, the film traces how her early encounters with Hitler and Goebbels propelled her to the status of a major filmmaker for the Reich. Her propaganda film of the 1934 Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg, Triumph of the Will, and her film of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Olympia, are internationally renowned works, born of her close collaboration with party leaders. Unseen home movies, personal photographs and audio recordings, combined with an archive of Riefenstahl's television appearances from the 1960s until her death in 2003, reveal an artist who often struggled to separate the distinctive aesthetic she fashioned from Nazi ideology. Andres Veiel tracks down and collects the director's lies, incantations and slanders, elevating his film to the rank of a universal and timeless investigation into self-representation and external perception in the media. - Actors:
