Fascinating account of the life, work and politics of the controversial German photographer and filmmaker.

Leni Riefenstahl achieved fame as a dancer, actress, photographer and director but her entire career is coloured by her association with the Nazi party. Appointed by Hitler, she directed the Nazi propaganda film Triumph des Willens along with her best known work Olympia, a documentary of the 1936 Munich Olympics. By 1939 Riefenstahl was arguably the most famous woman film director in the world, yet after the war she was never again accepted as a filmmaker.

Rainer Rother's book provides detailed coverage from original documentation of those aspects of Riefenstahl's career she herself has been keen to sanitize. It is a remarkable account of the fascinating life and work of Germany's most controversial photographer and filmmaker.
