Leni


Three Dancers by Leni Riefenstahl

She did many more things than her iconic Nazi propaganda movie 'Triumph des Willens'.

Her 'Olympia' (Berlin, 1936) registration is genarally recognised as a great cinematographic product. But (alas) she was a friend of Adolf Hitler. Leni is therefore out of bounds (politically). She never corrected her former Nazi stance.

She did some movies in Africa; again, it's great cinematography but it's racist in content. When you can provide us with some movie links, that would be great. For the time being we must do with her blabberings from the tube;

The problem with Leni is, that she sounds convincing and gives us sexy AND forbidden stuff. And we all have to deal with that.

Take care
