All I Had Was Nothingness

One of the all-time great documentaries, Shoah remains a definitive and revolutionary account of the Holocaust. Ribot drew on 220 hours of unused footage originally gathered for Lanzmann’s searing oral history. Unlike in Shoah, Lanzmann himself appears in many of these powerful scenes. The film offers fresh perspective on his creative process, his struggle to secure funding and his fear the film would never be completed. Also featured in voiceover, are excerpts from Lanzmann’s 2009 biography, The Patagonian Hare. What Ribot offers is not simply an extension of Shoah but a deeply moving tribute to a cinematic landmark and to Lanzmann’s tireless mission to preserve the memory of the Holocaust.
