Das blaue Licht

A summary of the story gives no adequate idea of the beauty of the action and the remarkable camera work, especially in connection with the light effects.

Riefenstahl's affirmation of the occult has a certain morbid interest, but it's as a performer, posing leggily atop cloudswept crags, that she most compels attention.

It provides a fascinating look at Riefenstahl's giddy, rhapsodic talents, as well as ideological clues about the sensibility that produced the most powerful Nazi propaganda.

It is all so disconnected, and you cannot help thinking that someone feels obliged to show you everything which in his opinion belongs to a perfect legendary mountain film.
