>She was an enogma to be sure. She was a great filmaker and photographer to be sure (her still photographs of the '36 Olympics are amazing). I personally think that her personal politics were much more in line with Nazi-ism than she ever let on after the war. Rightly or wrongly, that feeling colours my appreciation for her as an artist.
>regards, frank" I'd always heard she was not a Nazi. Whatever. I am very glad she made Triumph of the Will, it was only by viewing it in a college film class (many long years ago) that I came close to understanding the charisma that that funny little man Hitler had. Also, even though it was in German, she managed to convey the national joint insanity that German -- the fervor of nationalism led astray -- went through. Without seeing it, I am not sure I would ever have "gotten" it. Marnie aka Doe
