Was Hitler's favourite film
There is a scene in Race Stephen Hopkins's film about black athlete Jesse Owens and his four gold medal victories at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics in which German filmmaker Leni cheap enamel on gold jewelry Riefenstahl and Joseph Goebbels have a furious confrontation.
Discovering that the Nazi propaganda minister has interfered with her documentary about the Games and told her cinematographer not to film the 200 metres, which he fears Owens will win, Riefenstahl storms into the stadium and pulls the covers off her cameras.
The director mounted her cameras in innovative positions, using balloons and rafts as well as trenches to capture the very best shots. Her camera moves were highly inventive, her editing added drama and tension not normally associated with documentaries of the time, and Riefenstahl's use of sound and music was groundbreaking.
Time magazine included Olympia in a list of the 100 greatest films of all time, praising its "narrative ingenuity" and claiming that its innovations directly influenced all future televised sports coverage.
Critic and biographer David Thomson, meanwhile, has described Riefenstahl as "arguably the most talented woman ever to make a film".
But while her talents as a filmmaker may be clear to many, her intentions and her character are far more opaque. Though she claimed the International Olympic Committee (IOC) commissioned Olympia, the film was made by a company funded by the German government (a fact conceded in Race). "The founding of the company is necessary because the Reich does not wish to be seen openly as the maker of the film," reads a 1936 letter from the Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda.
And while Race suggests Riefenstahl filmed some of Owens's gold medal wins and a smattering of other German defeats, such as the thrashing by India in the hockey final in defiance of Goebbels, the truth is Goebbels intended that the Olympics cheap hermes handbags present a positive and non discriminatory Nazi regime. There was even a cessation of anti Semitic propaganda in the run up to the Games.
"The whole aim of the Propaganda Ministry was to avoid anything that might cast a cloud over the image of the 'new Germany'," says German film expert Rainer Rother. Triumph of the Will, a film about the 1934 Nazi rally in Nuremberg, which portrayed Hitler as a Wagnerian demigod, proudly trumpeted the ruthless exclusion of Jews, gypsies, Leftists and homosexuals, but "the Olympic Games, along with the cinematic Olympia, concealed the policy of exclusion," he says.
When Olympia was broadcast in 1938 it aligned cheap white enamel bracelet with Goebbels's propagandist strategies and many overseas viewed it with that in mind. Riefenstahl's promotional tour of America in the same year started well, despite protests from the Anti Nazi League, but it stalled with news of the Kristallnacht pogroms and her subsequent assertion that she could not believe these reports to be true.
She also faced criticism for Olympia's obsession with the glistening, near perfect human form, which was seen as harmonious with Hitler's adoption of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Ubermensch.
This might be a stretch Riefenstahl had flourished as a dancer before injury curtailed her career and undoubtedly appreciated athletic beauty; her choice of buff lovers attests to the fact.
It is, however, harder to overlook suggestions that someone of her intelligence, and with such close ties to prominent Nazis (she was a regular guest at Goebbels's home and enjoyed picnics with the Fuhrer) would have been entirely ignorant of their doctrine.
"I can't figure her out," Van Houten tells me. "The more I watch or read, the more ambiguous she gets, because she was a Nazi, of course."
In truth, Riefenstahl was never prosecuted as such. Once the Nazi regime fell, both the French and the Americans detained her, though she was released in 1948. She lived until she was 101 and proved fiercely litigious, winning more than 50 libel suits against those who claimed that she was aware of Nazi policy. "My life became a tissue of rumours and accusations," she wrote in her memoirs. "They were all revealed to be false."
It was also true that she had many confrontations with Goebbels, and the propaganda chief bemoaned her "wild" demeanour and found their dealings exasperating.
Race director Stephen Hopkins describes Riefenstahl as a "bohemian, caf society artist with lots of Jewish friends". While discussing her role in his film, he says, "I wanted a view from that side, from someone who wasn't necessarily a political animal and who was seeing things in a different way. For us, she is an incredibly useful character and an incredibly ambiguous character."
For many, the ambiguity replica hermes bracelets has long since diminished. She was Hitler's favourite filmmaker for a reason. Her positive portrayal in Race only adds to the contention.
