Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl, born less than a year apart,
lived so close to each other that Riefenstahl could see into
Dietrich's Berlin flat. Coming of age in the Weimar Republic, both
sought fame in Germany's silent film industry. While Dietrich's
depiction of Lola Lola in The Blue Angel catapulted her to
Hollywood stardom, Riefenstahl-who missed out on the
part-insinuated herself into Hitler's inner circle and directed
Nazi propaganda films, most famously, Triumph of the Will. Dietrich
could never truly go home again, while Riefenstahl was contaminated
by her political associations. Moving deftly between two stories
never before told together, Karin Wieland contextualises these
lives, chronicling revolutions in politics, fame and sexuality on a
grand stage.
