Resumo
The exceptionality of "The Triumph of the Will" (1935), as well as its director, Leni Riefenstahl
(1902-2003), is remarkable in the specialized literature on the subject of political propaganda
in the cinema. Thus, this dissertation aims to examine the specificities of cinema developed
by Riefenstahl, through the understanding of his maximal work. To do so, two approaches are
necessary. In the first place, the analysis of the Nazi aesthetics through the resurgence of the
aura by the Nazi politics aesthetics, made by the German essayist Walter Benjamin. Secondly,
the use of the method of "film analysis" for understanding the frames of the film will be
analyzed. By doing that, we can see how Leni Riefenstahl built his filmic aesthetic linked to
the propaganda project of national socialism. Thus, the dissertation is divided into three
moments. We will begin by exposing the peculiarities of Leni Riefenstahl, highlighting their
relationship with the Nazi propaganda machine. After that, we argue about "The Triumph of
the Will" (1935) as a source, discussing the perspectives for history knowledge, focusing on
the genre of propaganda, aesthetics and its relation to the concept of aura, and its
relationship with the documentary genre. Finally, we approach the analysis of the aesthetics
of the film through its two main characters: the masses and Adolf Hitler.
