Leni Riefenstahl / 莱妮·里芬斯塔尔

Leni Riefenstahl is the most politically charged director subject in 107.闲聊伟大导演们的八卦(第一弹). The episode describes her movement from dance and mountain films into Nazi propaganda, especially the technical influence and ideological service of Triumph of the Will and Olympia.

The source’s treatment is deliberately non-neutral about responsibility. It criticizes postwar attempts to present Riefenstahl as merely an artist or technician, stressing Nazi proximity, Aryan body aesthetics, coerced use of camp prisoners, and implausible claims of ignorance about the regime’s violence. Her page anchors Propaganda Aesthetics and Artistic Achievement Moral Accountability in the film branch of the wiki.
