I think Leni was a really great artist. I her work she invented and used technics no one has eeven bothered to try before.
Cut this political crap. Off course she made "Triumpf des Willens" and "Olympia" and this ghastly "Unsere Wehrmacht"-Movie, but she started out as an icreadibly skilled director with "Das blaue Licht" wich had absolutly no Nazi Stuff in it.
Off course her work was financed by bad guys, but as she always told in believable manne, she wasnŽt interested in politics, she was interested in Art. And as an Artist she was surely great.
Just watch the Olympia Movies (and fastforward those disturbing speeches) and youŽll see what IŽm talking.
If you want to know more about her and her fantastic work just try to catch the great documentary "Die MAcht der Bilder" from 1993 wich is shot with the artist in mind and ignore all these documentarys wich where made afterwards and just try to cash in on the newspaper storys about her bonds with the regime.
At least she had a long and full life.
