Description
Leni Riefenstahl's autobiography is a powerful and emotional story of a woman who refuses to be defined by others. As an artist of the first order, she is best known for her work in film, particularly Triumph of the Will and Olympia, which showcase her skills as a director and photographer. In this memoir, Riefenstahl discusses her motivations, history, friendships, and art, offering insights into directing and camera work. The result is an autobiography that is both deeply personal and thought-provoking, shedding light on the complexities of a woman who was revered and reviled in equal measure. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year, this book provides a unique perspective on one of the 20th century's most fascinating figures.
