      Audience Reviews for The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl

      • Oct 22, 2016

        An overlong but fascinating documentary about this remarkable filmmaker who mastered her techniques better than many directors, yet not only was limited as an artist (in terms of ideals) but also spent her life denying her guilt for collaborating with a genocidal regime.
