Autobiography of Hitler’s favorite in Russian? A few years ago, this would have been unimaginable.
Today, the fate of the German actress, dancer, documentary filmmaker causes conflicting feelings. Unusually talented in everything she does, an unconditional «fam fatale» with the face of an angel, Leni Riefenstahl was involved (by no means by force) in the epicenter of terrible political events.
She created an ingenious film about the triumph of the Nazi party. And thus provoked endless disputes about the morality of art, genius and villainy, freedom of creativity.
Leni’s long post-war life became a life in exile, creativity «despite». Despite the society that rejected it. But not in spite of her past. Only before her death did she express regret about cooperation with the Third Reich.
