Leni Riefenstahl. Most of a fine 1992 BBC Late Show piece. Poor image. Strong contributor line-up.

    'Last year, about the time that Ray Muller’s mediocre if watchable three-hour documentary about Leni Riefenstahl was getting widespread coverage in New York, a European friend thoughtfully sent me a tape of Looking at “Triumph of the Will”, an excellent 45-minute BBC program designed to introduce Riefenstahl’s famous Nazi propaganda film to a contemporary audience. Interviewing such commentators as Hugh Hudson, Annette Insdorf, Claude Lanzmann, George Steiner, Hans-Jurgen Syberberg, Budd Schulberg, and Brian Winston, the program offered diverse historical, ideological, and aesthetic perspectives without privileging any single point of view. Riefenstahl herself refused to be interviewed, yet her own self-serving interpretation of her career was included, as well as that of one of her American apologists-David Hinton, the author of a book about her, who argues, as Riefenstahl does, that Triumph of the Will should not be regarded as propaganda.'

    She was a movie 'celebrity' in NS Germany, Hitler gifted her a Mercedes, Goebell's enjoyed her company, she was ambitious and an artist.
    Steven Bach who wrote her detailed biography quoted a common expression that described her -"She only lies when her mouth is open".

    In the top ten of documentaries of all time. Today's MSM learned well the devices.

    I’ve got a full and better quality of this, plus the film recorded from
    BBC2 in the 90’s. Happy to let you have a copy.
