FICTION
Luis Trenker – Der schmale Grat der Wahrheit
Trenker and Riefenstahl – A Fine Line Between Truth And Guilt
Wolfgang Murnberger
Legendary South Tyrolean mountain climber, director and screen idol Luis Trenker offers Eva Braun's diaries to Hollywood
agent Paul Kohner at the Venice Film Festival in 1948. Film director Leni Riefenstahl sues to have the authenticity of the
diaries verified because they claim she was once Hitler's mistress. The story of these two famous opportunists is told in
flashbacks, from their brief romance, to their ruthless competitive bouts, to their backing by Hitler and Goebbels, and their
artistic successes. Trenker, one of the most popular stars in pre-war Germany, continued to act after the War (well into the
eighties), but his popularity waned and he never truly recovered from his relationship with the Nazis.
