I suppose I should at least see TOTW and Olympia, but frankly, neither is high on the list.

Just Triumph of the Will from her, but also The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl.

Why start a thread on a Director in which you haven't seen any films?

Anyhoo...... I've heard of her - seen a few clips, but never felt the driving need to see any of her work.

Jim has a point, and indeed, I was hesitant to start this thread since I haven't seen any of Riefenstahl's films (though I've certainly heard of her). I wanted to gauge reactions of those members who HAVE seen some of her movies. Not too much feedback thus far which leads me to believe I've no reason to move them up on my to-see list.
