Leni was a very interesting person, and while she is reviled by many for her work in the National Socialist propaganda movement, there is no clear evidence of Nazi mind at work. Her work was creative and highly inovative. There were many in Hollywood who desired to work with her because of these attributes. Unable to work in film any more, Riefenstahl adjusted and continued with creative work for decades after the fall of the Third Reich. Stephen Soderbergh's point of view would be interesting. Probably bring on some backlash and that is interesting.

in a world that claims to esteem strong creative women the fact that a film about Leni Rienfenstahl hasn't been made speaks volumes …

This sounds amazing indeed, with somebody like Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore as Riefenstahl. I'd be there opening night.

After hearing this interview (I believe the exact words he used were that no one would see it, not just that studios wouldnt make it) my immediate reaction was "YES I WOULD YES YES". I think it sounds amazing.
