What else is there in the darkened room of the cinema but light?
How can this flickering light create such stunning images?
How can someone I don't even know and would likely dislike in real life wrest my feelings from me and reproduce them onto the screen? Using light?
das Blaue Licht (1932)
directed by Leni Riefenstahl
cinematography by Hans Schneeberger
and Heinz von Jaworsky

I have always wanted to see this film. The images I've seen in books are simply stunning. Riefenstahl will always be a flashpoint and her politics, or not, will be a bone of contention for many people. This film looks visually stunning. Much as Olympia is also visually stunning and a terrific documentary on the athletes in the 1936 Olympiad.
Yes, she really was something, wasn't she?
See it! See it!
It's just gorgeous.
