"I teach filmmaking in Vienna, and I like to show my students ‘Triumph of the Will,’ by Leni Riefenstahl, then something by Sergei Eisenstein — ‘Battleship Potemkin,’ for example — and then ‘Air Force One’". Michael Haneke, Minister Of Fear.

Immediately before your quote:
"Political manipulation is rampant in the American media. It's present in the movies, too, of course. It's everywhere."
