The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl

The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl German Die Macht der Bilder Leni Riefenstahl is a 1993 German documentary film about the life of German film director Leni Riefenstahl, directed by Ray Mller.

The United States release of this film, in 1993, coincided with the publication of Riefenstahls autobiography Leni Riefenstahl A Memoir New York, 1993, as well as with her ninetieth birthday. The two releases are not unrelated. The Wonderful, Horrible life of Leni Riefenstahl was born from an idea of Riefenstahl herself, who, motivated by her old age and already working on her memoirs, decided to commission a documentary about her life.Concerned about being associated with the Nazi director, eighteen filmmakers declined the project, before Mller agreed to portray Riefenstahl in what ended up being a threehourlong documentary three times its contract length. ........
