HC 869 - Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah: The Greatest Holocaust Film Ever Made3 credits
SHOAH, Claude Lanzmann’s 9.5 hour film about the Holocaust, has been described as one of the greatest use of film in the 20th century. Unlike other Holocaust films, SHOAH has no scenes of atrocities or horrors..Rather Lanzmann takes the viewer to the places where these atrocities occurred (now often amazingly pastoral and peaceful) and “re-tells” the story of the Holocaust through interviews 35-40 years later with people who were there “then.” In this course, we will engage in close study of the film, looking at its structure, its philosophy, and the “story” it tells. Why—after 30 + years—is it still considered to be a transformative document in the way the world understands the Holocaust?
