Leni Riefenstahl's talent is undeniable. Her films have proven to be not only fair material for historians, but some sublime black and white works of art. Certainly, she had a terrific visual skill that allowed her make beautiful photographic compositions in her films (one can easily notice that in the angles of the camera used and in the edition work). However, we can't ignore that her films, even Olympia, are basically propaganda for a mass killer... It's depressing that this talented woman that made such beautiful films was one of Hitler's close friends.
