City of Toys

About This Movie

So, 'City of Toys' is a pretty interesting documentary that dives deep into some heavy themes. It features this interview with Leni Riefenstahl, where she reflects on her work, especially that notorious 'Triumph of the Will' from way back. It’s striking how her perspective on that film, made during such a dark time, contrasts with today’s understanding of antisemitism. The pacing leans towards contemplative, giving you space to digest everything she’s saying. The blend of historical footage with her recollections creates an eerie yet fascinating atmosphere. There’s something quite haunting about how she navigates her legacy, making you think about the impact of art and propaganda. It’s a complex film that, in its 39-minute run, manages to provoke thought without being too overwhelming.
