{"product_id":"leni-riefenstahl-a-life-9780865479760","title":"Leni Riefenstahl: A Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eDancer, actress, mountaineer, and director Leni Riefenstahl's uncompromising will and audacious talent for self-promotion appeared unmatched--until 1932, when she introduced herself to her future protector and patron: Adolf Hitler. Known internationally for two of the films she made for him, \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Will \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOlympia\u003c\/i\u003e, Riefenstahl's demanding and obsessive style introduced unusual angles, new approaches to tracking shots, and highly symbolic montages. Despite her lifelong claim to be an apolitical artist, Riefenstahl's monumental and nationalistic vision of Germany's traditions and landscape served to idealize the cause of one of the world's most violent and racist regimes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRiefenstahl ardently cast herself as a passionate young director who caved to the pressure to serve an all-powerful F hrer, so focused on reinventing the cinema that she didn't recognize the goals of the Third Reich until too late. J rgen Trimborn's revelatory biography celebrates this charismatic and adventurous woman who lived to 101, while also taking on the myths surrounding her. With refreshing distance and detailed research, Trimborn presents the story of a stubborn and intimidating filmmaker who refused to be held accountable for her role in the Holocaust but continued to inspire countless photographers and filmmakers with her artistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jürgen Trimborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 5.80w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865479760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/14\/2007 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/18\/2008 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/24\/2008 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJürgen Trimborn\u003c\/b\u003e, born in 1971, is a professor of film, theater, and art history at the University of Cologne and serves as a consultant on films of the Third Reich for the German and American film industry.
