7/10
Visually Very Impressive
15 August 2005
Yesterday I saw this documentary of the Sixth Nazi Party Congress in 1934 for the first time, and I was visually very impressed with the images. The grandiose and powerful scenarios where the Nazis parades and speeches happen are amazing. Everywhere the viewer looks are huge places, with the crowd worshiping Hitler, as if they were hypnotized. The quality of the images is also amazing for a 1934 shooting. The director Leni Riefenstahl was accused of making propaganda for the Nazis and I am not sure whether she was absolved or not of these accusations, but in IMDb biography I noted that she stayed from 1954 to 2002 without making any film. This movie is mostly recommended for students, since for a regular viewer it becomes boring after 114 minutes running time. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Triunfo da Vontade" ("The Triumph of the Will")
