Plot
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.
Sinekatalog’s take
A probing portrait that sets a filmmaker's self-image against the evidence of her complicity. It is carefully assembled and quietly damning. Essential for anyone interested in art, propaganda and the stories people tell about themselves.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
