Product Detail

Name:	Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl
Product Code:	9780307387752
Description:	By Steven Bach
Product Detail:	This definitive biography of Leni Riefenstahl tells of the woman best known as “Hitler’s filmmaker” and who remains one of the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the twentieth century. It is the story of huge talent and huger ambition, one that probes the sometimes blurred borders dividing art and beauty from truth and humanity. Two of Riefenstahl’s films, Olympia and Triumph of the Will, are universally regarded as the greatest and most innovative documentaries ever made, but they are also insidious glorifications of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Now, in this masterful biography, Steven Bach reveals the truths and lies behind this gifted woman’s lifelong self-vindication as an apolitical artist who claimed she knew nothing of the Holocaust and denied her complicity with the criminal regime she both used and sanctified.
