Hello Tenia!

I just checked my hard drive and I do indeed have the PDF file. As its MoC's property, I'd like the go-ahead from Nick before distributing it. Or maybe he will just post it himself.

Please email the pdf to nick@mastersofcinema.org and I'll quickly put it up at the same link it was before. It must have been accidentally deleted. The original file is in storage now, and I could get it but it would need some rummaging around. Many thanks!

You're welcome, Nick!

I've been meaning to see this for years and ordered it at the start of the week from the Eureka sale page. Can't wait!

Out of curiosity, what was the original MoC artwork referred to early in this thread, which was turned down by Claude Lanzmann? From the sound of it it sounds similar to the spine of the MoC box. Is that right?

I was at a yard sale today, and came across a Chinese bootleg of Shoah that was very explicitly a knock-off of the MoC discs. That seemed both sad and surprising, since Shoah doesn't seem like the kind of movie that would have the bootleggers hopping.

Everything gets bootlegged in China. Bootlegs and the internet are really the only ways for Chinese viewers to get a broad exposure to foreign cinema, since the official DVD market is almost entirely local films and Hollywood product. Of course there is a chicken-and-egg issue here -- authorized distributors are reluctant to take on anything off the beaten path because piracy has crippled the legitimate market, so naturally people turn to the pirates to get the titles they can't otherwise buy.

Just a heads up that Lanzmann's memoirs (entitled The Patagonian Hare) have just been published in English.

Screens with two 15-minute breaks
Book signing with Lanzmann at 6pm one-hour break

Directed by Claude Lanzmann

(1985) 564min, 35mm

“The greatest documentary about contemporary history ever made.”—Marcel Ophüls

Twelve years in the making, Lanzmann’s monumental epic on the Holocaust features interviews with survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators without a snippet of archival footage. Growing out of Lanzmann’s concern that the genocide was already retreating into the mists of time, and that the atrocity was becoming sanitized as History, his massive achievement—at once epic and intimate, immediate and definitive—is a triumph of form and content that reveals hidden truths while rewriting the rules of documentary filmmaking.

Claude Lanzmann will be signing copies of his book The Patagonian Hare, published in France in 2009 and recently translated into English. The memoir recounts Lanzmann's life in France and Europe during the second half of the 20th Century—from the French resistance movement during World War II to training Israeli F16 fighter jets in the 1990s; from his friendship with Jean Paul Sartre and love affair with Simone de Beauvoir to the making of his groundbreaking documentary Shoah. The Patagonian Hare is published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

The Last of the Unjust coming sometime in the next nine months.

Based on what I've read (http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/ma ... ast-unjust" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), this seems to be a very promising Lanzmann film. I'm glad it comes out from MoC.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it, but this is playing tomorrow night (5/21) in Seattle as part of SIFF, for just one single screening.

To coincide with the Blu-ray release of SHOAH in January we will be releasing Claude Lanzmann's THE LAST OF THE UNJUST in select cinemas nationwide from 9th January 2015.

1975. In Rome, Claude Lanzmann filmed a series of interviews with Benjamin Murmelstein, the last President of the Jewish Council in the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia, the only "Elder of the Jews" not to have been killed during the war. 2012. Claude Lanzmann, at 87 exhumes these interviews shot in Rome. We discover the extraordinary personality of Benjamin Murmelstein: a man blessed with a dazzling intelligence and a true courage, which, along with an unrivalled memory, makes him a wonderfully wry, sardonic and authentic storyteller.

THE LAST OF THE UNJUST will also be included in our Blu-ray release of SHOAH along host of other content. More details announced soon.

Having already bought MoC's DVD set of Shoah, then Criterion BD set, I'd be quite disappointed if Last of the Unjust doesn't get an individual HD release and makes me triple dip...

If they duplicate all of the bonus films included on the Criterion, add Last of the Unjust, and have each of the eras play continuously all the way through (not broken up like on the Criterion, despite the separate parts being on the same disc), then I'll have no qualms triple dipping and selling my Criterion off.

They will also probably improve on the encoding, which is severely lacking on the Criterion.

Yes, this is incredibly difficult content. I'm using every technique in the book and have already done the encodes about 7 times to make sure it's as good as it can be.

I should say that if the eras need to be broken up into separate parts to be given sufficient room on each disc, then that's understandable. (Can you say at this point if that's going to be the case, David?) I just found it needlessly disruptive in the Criterion set for them to be presented in separate parts when they were on the same disc.

Damn, I guess I am going to be re-buying this then. I did just watch the Criterion though so I'll probably give it a few years (and get a decent price in the process).

Eureka should know that if they want to licence Fanny and Alexander and give it to you for encoding I'd double dip on that as well (wasn't happy with Criterion's solution to the TV version: shove all 5.5 hours on a single disc!)

Ah that's too bad. I wasn't sure if it was up in the air as I only remember a Tartan version.
