***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on July 28th on Blu-ray in the US from @KinoLorber: #TriumphOfTheWill (1935)! For almost a century, Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens) has reigned as the most controversial documentary ever made, a “cinema masterpiece,” according to film historian Amos Vogel, “a huge and disturbing film spectacle.” Capturing the pageantry of the 1934 Nuremberg congress, Triumph of the Will is a sensory tableau that celebrates the nation’s resurgence in the aftermath of a crushing economic depression. Riefenstahl commanded a squad of photographers and oversaw the editing of the film, crafting a landmark of documentary cinema, even as it permanently stained the reputation of the filmmaker. Riefenstahl spent a lifetime trying to disassociate herself from the Nazi leadership, but her complicity with Hitler is now uniquivocal, and no matter how artistically rendered, Triumph of the Will was used to fertilize the rise of the Third Reich. This Kino Classics release is part of an ambitious reevaluation of the filmmaker’s career, including the release of Andres Veiel’s award-winning documentary Riefenstahl, new restorations of her films (The Blue Light, Tiefland) and special editions of previously unreleased work (Longing for Innocence, Under Water Impressions). Triumph of the Will was restored by the Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archives) and includes two additional Riefenstahl propaganda films glorifying the military strength of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party: Day of Freedom and Victory of Faith. Product Extras : Audio commentary by Film Historian Anthony Slide "Leni Riefenstahl: On a Nazi Female Filmmaker,” an Essay by Novelist, Essayist and Critic Francine Prose Day of Freedom (Tag her Freshet - Unsere Wehrmacht, 1935, 28 Min.) and Victory of Faith (Der Sieg des Glaubens, 1933, 61 Min.): Two propaganda films made for the NSDAP by Leni Riefenstahl Schichlegruber Doing the Lambeth Walk: A 1942 Satirical British Anti-Nazi Propaganda Short #BluRay #PhysicalMedia #BluRays #BoutiqueBluRay #CultMovies #DiscConnected #KinoLorber #LeniRiefehstahl

AOTY is a social construct that only exists because of pretentious white leftists

Kristen Stewart wants to direct another movie by the end of the year "and put it on f---ing YouTube." "Whatever money we make from that will be what I spend on my next one and there will be a trickle-down effect. I just don’t want to talk to these bros anymore ... I love Hollywood, I love big movies, [but] I don’t think I’d be very good at making them. I want to make weird s---. And I’m fully OK doing that in a kind of insulated, bizarre way. But I don’t want to do the thing where I wait five years for someone to give me $1 million to make something. I’m going to make it f---ing tomorrow." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHhm4
