I'm familiar with Reifenstahl's work and had the occasion to see "Triumph of the Will" once again on A&E's fine Autobiography series, which included an excellent and insightful interview with Leni herself.The three times I have seen "Triumph of the Will," (43 years from first to last viewing), I have found it riveting, evocative and chilling--a prelude to the demise of the fascistic Nirvana it promised. In my opinion, the work stands as the pinnacle of propaganda cinematography--masterfully constructed, brilliantly filmed and edited, with special effects ahead of its time.
I am not empathetic to the message in the film nor the fascist climate in which it was produced. For one to make that assumption is, on its face, absurd in the extreme.
Appreciation of the filmmaker's art doesn't necessarily constitute acceptance of the philosophy or convictions of the artist.
