Riefenstahl
Documentary
at The Theatre
BY ROSIE DAY
Rappahannock News Contributing Writer
This movie is a spellbinding account of the career of the woman best known as Hitler’s moviemaker and recently hailed by the New York Times as “one of the supreme artists of cinema and the greatest woman film maker ever.” She never joined the Nazi Party but as the creator of the single most effective propaganda film ever made (“Triumph of the Will”) Leni Riefenstahl has spent much of her life trying to live down her association with the Third Reich.
Mussolini asked her to make a documentary about the Pontine marshes and Stalin sent her a note praising her film, “Olympia”, a record of the 1936 Berlin Games starring Jesse Owens the black American runner.
“Hitler did not play such an important role in my life,” she says. “I made one film for him, which had three parts, and out of that the press wove a legend.”
