On the occasion of the film's 25th anniversary, Claude Lanzmann's nine-and-a-half hour landmark documentary, SHOAH, considered one of the greatest films ever made, will be re-released in the U.S.. Twelve years in the making, SHOAH is Claude Lanzmann's monumental epic on the Holocaust featuring interviews with survivors, bystanders & perpetrators in 14 countries. The film does not contain any historical footage but rather features interviews which seek to ''reincarnate'' the Jewish tragedy & also visits places where the crimes took place. Growing out of Lanzmann's concern that the genocide perpetrated only 40 years earlier was already retreating into the mists of time &that the atrocity was becoming sanitized as History, his massive achievement-at once epic & intimate, immediate & definitive-is a triumph of form & content that reveals hidden truths while rewriting the rules of documentary film-making. SHOAH remains nothing less than essential.Trailer HERE
