Guillaume Ribot delivers a documentary that is as moving as it is rigorous, shaped like a road movie.
Documentary by Guillaume Ribot. 1h34. French film.
The making of the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann is an adventure in itself: twelve years of work, thousands of hours of preparation, journeys to the four corners of the world, dozens of witnesses… and just as many doubts, setbacks and wrong turns, but also moments of painful grace when the truth emerges. Drawing on 220 hours of unused rushes and on the memoirs of its author, Guillaume Ribot plunges us into the heart of the production of a major work of cinema, getting as close as possible to the obsessions of the man who set out to bring truth out of nothingness.
A screening hosted by Maurice Lugassy, regional coordinator of the Mémorial de la Shoah, in partnership with Orh Akiva.
