Claude Lanzmann: Legendary Filmmaker

There are films that mark the history of cinema; a few, rarer ones mark history itself. Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah belongs to both exalted categories. Born in 1925, Lanzmann survived the German occupation of France, fought with the French Resistance during World War II and has long been the editor of Les Temps Modernes, Jean Paul Sartre's political-literary journal. The auteur joins us for a rare appearance to discuss his new memoir, The Patagonian Hare, and the making of his seminal film Shoah.
