Riefenstahl
First screened in November 2025
Director: Andres Veiel. Documentary about the filmmaker, actress, and notorious Third Reich propagandist Leni Riefenstahl, focused both on her controversial career and how she did or didn't grapple with her own legacy.
In Brief:
Suffers and profits from emulating Leni's dual habits of organization and elusiveness. Ratio finally tips in its favor.
VOR:③
Leans pretty heavily on existing sources. Clearer POV or handling of structure might add value. But it finds important new sides to a dark, sad story.
