"Interviews with Leni Riefenstahl, now in her nineties, flash-backs and modern film sequences tell the story of the most famous woman film director of all time. Known for her films made during the Third Reich, Riefenstahl's story is a controversial one. Best known for her "Triumph of the Will," the film made of the 1934 Nazi Party Congress, it proved to be her undoing."
"Depicts the long, turbulent, and productive life of Leni Riefenstahl, former dancer and filmmaker to Hitler, whose Triumph des Willens and Olympia were prime Nazi propaganda documents. In disrepute after World War 2, Riefenstahl turned to anthropological filmmaking and underwater cinematography."@en
"A look at the life of motion picture director Leni Riefenstahl, drawing from contemporary interviews and historical footage."@en
"It seems that Leni Riefenstahl cooperated with the filmmaker Ray Muller in order to present at 90, her view of her life and work and, more importantly, to answer her critics. As such this is not an objective analysis of her films and the available evidence about their making. It is a portrait of a woman who, in Triumph of the Will, applied her remarkable ability and will to the production of a masterpiece of ideologically-charged filmmaking overtly designed as propaganda. Muller's film is generously punctuated with pristine footage from Riefenstahl's 'mountain' films with Dr. Arnold Fanck, her films of the Nazi period and her African and undersea projects. The German title translates as The Power of the Image."
"At the heart of this film is the question of whether Leni Riefenstahl was a Nazi, as her detractors claim, or whether she was the victim of society-- a naive, young woman who made Triumph des Willens on assignment, and simply did a very good job. This film does not judge, and Riefenstahl (a fiesty 90 during production) is genuine in her protest. Or has the passage of 50-plus years simply rewritten history in her mind? Viewers must judge for themselves."

"Examines the life and career of the filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. She began as a dancer, was discovered by Max Reinhardt and became a star. Arnold Fanck's mountain films entranced her and she talked her way into starring in one. She wrote and directed her own films and attracted the notice of Adolf Hitler. She became the filmmaker of the Nazis and made Triumph of the Will and Olympia. During World War II, she began but never finished the film Tiefland. She talks about her involvement with the Nazis. She was tried as a war criminal, but was not found guilty although she was not allowed to make another film.

Après une brève carrière de comédienne, elle passa derrière la caméra et réalisa deux des plus célèbres films de propagande de l'Allemagne nazie.

"An account of the woman best known as Hitler's moviemaker and recently hailed by the New York Times as "one of the greatest women filmmakers ever". In this documentary, Leni Riefenstahl addresses her past for the first time on camera. While she never actually joined the Nazi Party, as the creator of the single most effective propaganda film ever made, Triumph of the will, Riefenstahl has spent most of her life trying to live down her association with the Third Reich. Her personal relationship with Hitler is still in question. At 91, Riefenstahl revisits the landmarks of her turbulent life -- from her beginnnings as a daredevil actress in German "mountain films" to her direction of such stunning narratives as The blue light (1932) and Tiefland (1940s), to her infamous documentaries, Triumph of the will (1935) and Olympia (1938) to her anthropological photographs and home movies of the now extinct Nuba tribes in Africa. The film brings the story up to her current passion for scuba diving and shooting films of exotic aquatic life."
"Focuses on the career of Leni Riefenstahl who became famous for making propaganda films which showcased the rise of Nazi Germany. At age 90, she discusses her career as a dancer, actress, writer and director, her propaganda films and association with the Nazis, films and photographs of the Nuba tribes in Africa, and current occupation of scuba diving and making underwater films."
