Book Reviews of Leni Riefenstahl
Book Review: A Very Moving Memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not agree with the opinion that this memoir is merely a work of propoganda to try to salvage the author's image and legacy. One leaves this book very moved by the triumphs and tragedies of an fiercely independent woman who was willing to sacrifice everything for her passion and love of film-making. If you are the slightest bit curious about this woman, this book is absolutely essential for your library. It is endlessly fascinating and enjoyable reading.Book Review: Amazing Autobiography from an Amazing Artist!
Summary: 5 Stars
While some of the recollections should be taken with a grain of salt, this autobiography is a compelling and impressive read from the woman who is arguably the greatest living photographic artist. And what a witness to history! Love her or hate her, her talents are irrefutable...as great as the controversy that continues to swirl around her! Don't miss out on this read!Book Review: Leni Reifenstahl
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the book to be a fasinating one particularly because many of the people of that era are no longer with us. Leni is, therefore her account of that period is important, historically if for no other reason. She did not want to film the 1934 Nazi Party Rally but was forced to by Hitler. People forget that in those days very few people said "no" to Hitler.Book Review: Fascinating Autobiography.
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazingly talented filmmaker Riefenstahl has written a remarkable and interesting autobiography...although a clear message of "Who, me?" seems to run throughout. Nonetheless, it is a compelling work by and about one of the 20th Century's most enigmatic and notorious historical figures. Rumors still exist that Jodie Foster's interested in a movie version...Book Review: Leni Reifenstahl, A Memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
I wrote a review for this book on January 11. You did not print my review in it's entirety. At the very end I defended Leni Reifenstahl by saying that "She should tell all her negative critics to go to hell"!
