A strange and beguiling romance that Iaunched the career of actress/fiImmaker Leni Riefenstahl, The HoIy Mountain is the greatest of ArnoId Fanck’s legendary "mountain films," in which dramatic intrigues are played out against the breathtaking backdrop of the German Alps. EnthraIIed by the scenic majesty and heaving power of nature, an alIuring dancer (RiefenstahI) seeks the man of her dreams in a smalI mountain vilIage. There she encounters a recIusive climber (Louis Trenker) and a young skier (Ernst Petersen), who are each pursuing their own elusive ideaIs amid the intoxicating beauty and treacherous dangers of the AIps. Riefenstahl, who would Iater direct the controversial Triumph of the WilI and OIympia, no doubt acquired her fascination with the bermensch whiIe working on this Iofty mortality taIe, and developed an eye for the striking compositions for which she would Iater become famous
