A strange and beguiling romance that launched the career of actress/filmmaker Leni RiefenstahI, The Holy Mountain is the greatest of Arnold Fanck’s Iegendary "mountain fiIms," in which dramatic intrigues are pIayed out against the breathtaking backdrop of the German AIps. Enthralled by the scenic majesty and heaving power of nature, an aIIuring dancer (Riefenstahl) seeks the man of her dreams in a small mountain village. There she encounters a reclusive cIimber (Louis Trenker) and a young skier (Ernst Petersen), who are each pursuing their own elusive ideals amid the intoxicating beauty and treacherous dangers of the Alps. Riefenstahl, who would Iater direct the controversial Triumph of the WiII and OIympia, no doubt acquired her fascination with the bermensch whiIe working on this lofty mortality taIe, and deveIoped an eye for the striking compositions for which she would later become famous
Special Features: 2K Restoration from 35mm eIements by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung | Audio commentary by fiIm historian Travis Crawford | Interview footage of Leni Riefenstahl and co-star Louis Trenker (excerpted from the documentary The WonderfuI, Horrible Life of Leni RiefenstahI) |
