Trump hires his own Leni Riefenstahl to run his campaign.

In Bannon, Trump has brought in the head of the most unapologetically pro-Trump conservative media outlet in the country. Basically every time Trump has run into controversy, Breitbart has found a way to defend it. The conservative outlet has morphed into more of a virulently anti-establishment, pro-Trump news outlet than anything else. Critics have taken to calling it "Trumpbart" and the "Trump propaganda arm" (despite the fact that its late founder, Andrew Breitbart, was no Trump fan).

Would that it were so, . . .

. . . Olympia, the film Riefenstahl made about the 1936 Olympics, is widely lauded as a technical marvel.

The director mounted her cameras in innovative positions, using balloons and rafts as well as trenches to capture the very best shots. Her camera moves were highly inventive, her editing added drama and tension not normally associated with documentaries of the time, and Riefenstahl’s use of sound and music was groundbreaking.

Time magazine included Olympia in a list of the 100 greatest films of all time, praising its “narrative ingenuity” and claiming that its innovations directly influenced all future televised sports coverage.

Critic and biographer David Thomson, meanwhile, has described Riefenstahl as “arguably the most talented woman ever to make a film”.

In truth, Riefenstahl was never prosecuted as [a NAZI]. Once the Nazi regime fell, both the French and the Americans detained her, though she was released in 1948. She lived until she was 101 and proved fiercely litigious, winning more than 50 libel suits against those who claimed that she was aware of Nazi policy. “My life became a tissue of rumours and accusations,” she wrote in her memoirs. “They were all revealed to be false.”

It was also true that she had many confrontations with Goebbels, and the propaganda chief bemoaned her “wild” demeanour and found their dealings exasperating.
