So you probably haven't heard of this one, right?

So Lenny Reefinstall, the Nazi filmmaker, tried to rebrand later in life and was like,

okay, what's like some non-ideological terrain where I can just pretend?

Like, look, I've always just been a filmmaker.

I'm interested in images.

And she got really into scuba diving, which she apparently did as late as age 100.

And this film was the fruit of those efforts.

Yeah, so I was interested in the idea of doing impressions underwater of all Lenny
