Riefenstahl
A fresh look at one of cinema's most uncomfortable figures: Leni Riefenstahl. Constructed through archival montage, Veiel's portrait follows Riefenstahl from youth to old age — including footage of an elderly woman still manipulating camera angles for a more flattering appearance. A film about the relationship between art and power that feels disturbingly current.
