Abstract

This essay discusses one aspect of Susan Sontag's "fascist choreography"--the alternation of movement and stasis in Riefenstahl's films. It positions aspects of their visual style within a matrix of related cultural and aesthetic practices--including the baroque tragic drama, sculpture and dance, and photography--and reads these against a psychosexual scenario associated with Nazism.
