Arguably the greatest woman of the 20th century.
She had a full life. No need to mourn.

Sadly to say, the deracinated German establishment has not wasted the opportunity for ritual self-abasement and ingratiation. Here is the Federal Culture Minister Christina Weiss in ,der Spiegel':
"... Culture Minister Weiss characterized Riefenstahl as an artist whose lifeââ¬â¢s work epitomizes the calamitous intersection of Art and Politics
The Minister .... maintained that, even after the war, Riefenstahl had never accepted as problematic how easily her work lent itself to the service of inhuman Nazi propaganda, nor how close she was in reality to the Hitler regime. ââ¬ÅNobody can dispute that her talent produced cinematic works that belong in the aesthetic canonââ¬Â, said the Minister. [however] Riefentahlââ¬â¢s career shows that real life cannot be based in falsehood, that art can never be apolitical, and that form and content can never exist separately..."
