  Eureka Entertainment to release Arnold Fanck's THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, the greatest of the German ˜mountain films' and the film which launched the career of Leni Riefenstahl, digitally restored in 2K and presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK as a part of The Masters of Cinemas Series from 17 June 2019. German filmmaker Arnold Fanck made this beautifully photographed Bergfilm, or ˜mountain film', in 1926. Written in three days and nights especially for Leni Riefenstahl The Holy Mountain took over a year to film in the Alps with an entourage of expert skiers and climbers. Ostensibly a love triangle romance between Riefenstahl's young dancer and the two explorers she encounters Fanck relishes the glorious Alpine landscape by filming death-defying climbing, avalanche dodging, and frenetic downhill ski racing. Digitally restored in 2K, The Holy Mountain is a visual feast and a fascinating look at the origin of a genre. The Masters of Cinema Series is very proud to present this landmark film in its UK debut on Blu-ray. Features: 1080p presentation on Blu-ray, from a 2014 2K digital restoration Score by Aljoscha Zimmerman, available in both LPCM 2.0 and DTS-HD MA 5.1 Original German intertitles with optional English subtitles The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl [180 mins] Ray Müller's definitive documentary on the life and career of Leni Reifenstahl.
