A remarkable talent, but like most of the Nazis she glorified, she seems unwilling to accept responsibility for the evil that she helped propogate. Like baseball's somewhat infamous Pete Rose, if she would fully admit her culpability, I would likely be more favorably disposed towards her. As it is, at age 100 and more than two thirds of a century after the beginning of the 3rd Reich, I would guess that she feels no great inclination to change her viewpoint.
Follow Ups:
I suggest you read her memoir..."Leni Riefenstahl: A Memoir"...
whether you feel she is "guilty" or not. It's quite compelling reading. It may change your mind.Whatever "case" it makes, it strongly impresses, that if ANYTHING, she is a specially Talented Artist, and woman.
It explains just what she "did". Whether what she did was "wrong", well, that's up to you.
