Riefenstahl

by

Filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial women of the 20th century. “Riefenstahl” at Rivertown Film, Nov. 5 at the Nyack Center, examines her legacy and its relevance to our modern times. 2024, Germany, 115 minutes.

“Coolly damning… shrewdly edited. A welcome addition to the historically grounded rebukes to Riefenstahl and her apologists.”– The New York Times

“An exploration of Riefenstahl’s legacy, delving deep into her complex relationship with the Nazi regime… with unprecedented access to Riefenstahl’s 700-box personal archive.”– Variety

“Forensic and merciless” ¬– Screen International

“Sobering and profoundly eerie. A masterful documentary… about political evasion, self-preservation and the limits of denial.” – The Times

Join a discussion after the film with Ellen Kuras, director of Lee (at Rivertown Film last March) and three time Sundance award winner for cinematography – schedule permitting.
