Triumph of the Will (1935)
Director: Leni Riefenstahl
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Riefenstahl's record of the sixth Nazi congress at Nuremberg in 1934, a massive documentary tribute to the German concept of the Aryan super-race. Technically brilliant, and still one of the most disturbing pieces of propaganda around. Interesting to note that at the same time the British were also indulging in mass demonstrations of physical prowess - women were putting on large PT displays in Wembley Stadium.Author: CPe
