Impressions Under Water by Leni Riefenstahl
Hitler’s little media darling will soon release a 45-minute documentary about life in the Indian Ocean, with footage taken from over two thousand dives. Riefenstahl’s first film since 1954, it will be released on her 100th birthday in August. Translation: She rolled with the Nazis, made some movies that helped whip an entire nation into a killing frenzy, put on a wetsuit, and spent the rest of her life playing with fish until emerging to release a picture with a soundtrack by the same Italian guy who wrote the music for Flashdance. That’s show business.
