Holy mountain (2-disc) (MoC #2) (Tuonti)

Masters of cinema series #2

Starring the legendary Leni Riefenstahl and directed by the pioneer of the mountain film, Arnold Fanck, 'Holy Mountain' is a filmic event that cannot be missed.

A majestic tale set against a breathtaking Alpine backdrop, 'Holy Mountain' follows the story of Diotina (Leni Riefenstahl), a beautiful and exotic dancer who travels to a small mountain village to find the man of her dreams.

There she meets a climber (Louis Trenker) and a young skier (Ernst Petersen), both of whom are pursuing their own idyllic dreams.
A triangle relationship soon develops, but the consequences are disastrous...

Accompanying 'Holy Mountain' in this special edition double disc release is the remarkable documentary 'The Wonderful Horrible Life Of Leni Riefenstahl'. A spellbinding account of the woman best known as Hitler's moviemaker, and recently hailed by The New York Times as "one of the greatest filmmakers ever", this documentary follows Riefenstahl as she revisits the landmarks of her turbulent life at the feisty age of 91 (188 minutes).
