Wolff Movie Index

Triumph of the Will(1934)

Wolff rating: KNEECAP-WRENCHING

Plot summary: Documentary on the 1934 Nazi all-party rally.

Biased, pithy comments: Excrutiatingly long pseudo-reality view of hundreds of goose-stepping troops. No, really, Riefenstahl more or less manufactured large amounts of this movie, making the event she is covering seem bigger, more organized, and more beautiful than it was. Hitler himself seems his most affiable in this one. The marching scenes make the rock-climbing scenes in ``Lost Continent'' seem short.

Other Notes: German.

How many times I have seen it: x1

Starring: Adolf Hitler
Directed by: Leni Riefenstahl
