I've seen "Olympia" and it is extraordinary. I believe it transformed the Olympics to "spectacle" than mere "games". She was a pretty good film maker all right. One of the best.

Alas, for her Riefenstahl it's her association with Hitler that everyone remembers.

Still check out the film. Fascinating.

Riefenstahl is perhaps THE textbook study of an unforgettably brilliant artist with unforgiveably opportunistic ambition. Talk about hooking your horse to the wrong wagon. Still, her work in Olympia stands the test of time.
