Movie Info

The Blue Light (Das Blaue Licht) is widely regarded as the best of the German "mountain" films of the early 1930s. Leni Riefenstahl both directed and starred in this film, playing a free-spirited gamine who dares to climb a precipitous mountain peak. Because she is the only member of her community to accomplish this, she is regarded as something of a witch. When she discovers a hidden crystal cave, the villagers change their tune and follow her up the mountain, stripping the cave of its riches.

The first movie made by Leni Riefenstahl. An alpine witch much admires a shining blue light that emanates from a mountaintop. Science explains much, though perhaps not everything fully. A surreal fantasia of a film from the 1930s.
