Triumph of the Will

This infamous propaganda film for Hitler gives a glimpse into the psyche of Nazi Germany. The brilliant documentary by the equally infamous director Leni Riefenstahl features breathtaking cinematography and shows the power of images. Looking at the film, there's nothing that hints at the atrocities later committed by these people. Riefenstahl lets the images speak for themselves, the beauty of the country and the strength of it people. The film remains as warning for humanity that what happened in Germany can and will happen again because there's fine line between good and evil in human nature. It is also testimony to the power of art, specially cinema that it can be used for either good or evil purposes. It's a shame that talents of Riefenstahl fell victim to the powers of evil. However nobody can deny her brilliance as an artist. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
