Leni Riefenstahl: Hitlers briljante filmmaker

from Geschiedenis Inside · host Tonny Media

“Mijn leven was veel mooier geweest als ik was overleden op het hoogtepunt van mijn carrière. Dat is heel precies het moment waarop de oorlog uitbrak, op 1 september 1939.” Leni Riefenstahl was de vrouw die film veranderde én besmette. Ze begon als danseres in het bruisende Berlijn van de jaren twintig, werd ster in de zogeheten ‘Bergfilms’, trouwde met een SA’er en groeide uit tot de regisseur die Hitler zijn mythische glans gaf. Na de oorlog bleef ze haar onschuld verdedigen; in interviews, in brieven, maar haar blazoen schoonpoetsen lukte nooit helemaal. Ze vertrok naar Afrikaanse landen om verschillende stammen te fotograferen, op manieren die direct doen denken aan haar beroemde Olympia. Alles om maar niet geconfronteerd te worden met haar verleden. Steeds meer bronnen wijzen er echter op dat ze veel beter wist wat er tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog gebeurde dan ze zelf toegaf. Ze werd 101 jaar oud, en tot het einde bleef ze proberen haar onschuld te bewijzen en haar kunst te vieren. Wat blijft er over: een visionair kunstenaar, of een medeplichtige die zichzelf nooit écht heeft durven aankijken? 🔎 Bronnen gebruikt voor deze aflevering: Riefenstahl - Andres Veiel Andere Tijden - Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia Leni Riefenstahl in het own words - CBC  Je später den abend - WDR Lebensläufe - SWR The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl - Ray Müller   🔔 Volg ons op Instagram & TikTok  📣 Geproduceerd door: Tonny MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
