    Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will may be the most controversial film ever made both despised and admired. A shamelessly biased unabashedly subjective rendering of the infamous 1934 Nuremberg rallies Triumph Of The Will was commissioned by Hitler himself from the director. An essential document of Hitler the orator and mesmeriser of the masses this stunning documentary revels in the monumental architecture of Albert Speer the formal precision of marching cadres and above all the almost religious exhaltation of Hitler as the mystical personification of the dreams and ideals of his people captured kinetically with a mastery of technique that is both breathtaking and sinister.

    Triumph of the Will is one of the most important films ever made, not because it documents evil--more watchable examples are being made today. And not as a historical example of blind propaganda--those (much shorter) movies are merely laughable now. No, Riefenstahl's masterpiece--and it is a masterpiece, politics aside--combines the strengths of documentary and propaganda into a single, overwhelmingly powerful visual force. Riefenstahl was hired by the Reich to create an eternal record of the 1934 rally at Nuremberg, and that's exactly what she does. You might not become a Nazi after watching her film, but you will understand too clearly how Germany fell under Hitler's spell. The early crowd scenes remind one of nothing so much as Beatles concert footage (if only their fans were so well behaved!).Like the Fascists it monumentalises, Triumph of the Will overlooks its own weaknesses--at nearly two hours, the speeches tend to drone on, and the repeated visual motifs are a little over-hypnotic, especially for modern viewers. But the occasional iconic vista (banners lining the streets of Nuremberg, Hitler parting a sea of 200,000 party members standing at attention) will electrify anyone into wakefulness. --Grant Balfour, Amazon.com

    After being commissioned by the 1936 Olympic Committee to create a feature film of the Berlin Olympics Riefenstahl shot a documentary that celebrates the human body by combining the poetry of bodies in motion with close-ups of athletes in the heat of competition. Includes the marathon men's diving and American track star Jesse Owens' sprint races at the 1936 Olympic Games. The production tends to glorify the young male body and some say expresses the Nazi attitude toward athletic prowess. Includes the lighting of the torch at the stadium and Adolf Hitler looking on in amazement as Jesse Owens wins an unprecedented four Gold Medals.
