The discovery of one of the most brilliant and controversial personalities of the twentieth century: Bertha Helene Amalie Riefenstahl — artist, dancer, actress, film director and photographer. Admired by Hitler and a director from 1932, she later knew the difficult years of postwar persecution because of her closeness to the regime. The volume gathers her photographic work, from the mountain films to the Nuba of Sudan and the underwater pictures of her last years.
