Book Reviews of Leni Riefenstahl
Book Review: very, very, very, very good....
Summary: 5 Stars
What a neat, neat book. Over 600 pages and I read it easily in a few days, then lent it to two people who also read it within a few days. Obviously, almost impossible to put down... And the book starts getting REALLY exciting when she is in her 60's, travelling through Africa. While this woman certainly has a large ego, and HAS to be embellishing a few stories (for example, almost every man she meets seem to immediately fall madly in love with her and attempt suicide upon being rejected by her), she is not anywhere close to being the monster she is constantly portrayed as. Her argument that she was simply an artist creating documentaries with no political interest at all seems pretty reasonable after reading this book. The woman is entirely self-absorbed: not necessarily a huge insult to an artist. And if the celebration of beauty (even physical beauty) is an exclusively nazi ideal, call me a nazi too.
