Leni Riefenstahl: The Seduction of Genius
Author: Rainer Rother
Was R673.95 Now R606.56
Leni Riefenstahl achieved fame as a dancer, actress, photographer and director, but her entire career is coloured by her association with the Nazis. Using original documentation, this book looks at Riefenstahl's life, work and politics. 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 an account of the fascinating life and work of Germany's most controversial photographer and filmmaker. - Part I Talent
