A captivating insight into the private estate of Leni Riefenstahl, who became world-famous with her Nazi propaganda film TRIUMPH OF THE WILL but kept denying any closer ties to the regime.

So it’s a documentary in the purest of senses: an effort to impose a narrative around an assembly of documents.

The film makes some interesting points but unfortunately fails to see any of them through. Instead, it chooses to include too much.

Rated: 3/5
