Capitalising on the success of Triumph of the Will (1935) her propaganda film for the Nazi Party Riefenstahl secured Hitlers approval for her grandiose plans to film the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The result was a work as notorious for its politics as celebrated for its aesthetic power. This revised edition
