Surprisingly uncritical acclaim
A surprisingly uncritical Sandra Maischberger lends a sympathetic (adoring?) ear to Leni Riefenstahl, who half a century later still things she did nothing wrong as an outstanding film director of Hitlers achievements during the war. If you want to remember what happened, listen to the horrible words that comes out of her mouth. What ever happened to Maischbergers journalistic background? Unfortunately, it doesn't show here.
The film shows in detail how an enormous talent was misused to show the supposedly superiority of the white race. Although LR in the last years of her life started taking photos in Africa, her views on racial separation remains apparent. Only her underwater photos lets you forget for a few moments, that her reputation remains that of Hitlers campaign maker.
