Triumph of the Will (Triumph des willens: Das Dokument vom Reichsparteitag 1934)
Triumph of the Will is undoubtedly one of the most debated films in the history of cinema. Commissioned by Adolf Hitler, the film stunningly illustrates Nazi Germany at the height of its prowess. Whether it's labelled as a documentary or a propaganda film, one cannot ignore the fact that Leni Riefenstahl's film draws out a sense of awe within the viewer. Triumph of the Will's understanding of film style remains as an unerring testament to the power of cinema as a tool for bringing a nation together.
Reviews
“Possibly the most powerful propaganda film ever made, Triumph of the Will is also, in retrospect, one of the most horrifying”
