<em>Those Americans who are familiar with the name <a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/04/14/the_patagonian_hare_the_man_behind_shoah/singleton/">Claude Lanzmann</a> most likely know him as the director of "<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2012/03/19/120319crbo_books_brody?currentPage=all">Shoah</a>," his monumental 1985 documentary about the extermination of the European Jews in the Nazi gas chambers. As it turns out, though, the story of Lanzmann's eventful life would have been well worth telling even if he had never come to direct "Shoah." In addition to film director, Lanzmann's roles have included those of journalist, editor, public intellectual, member of the French Resistance, long-term lover of Simone de Beauvoir and close friend of Jean-Paul Sartre, world traveler, political activist, ghostwriter for Jacques Cousteau — I could go on, but it's a good deal more entertaining to hear Lanzmann himself go on, and thanks to the publication in English of his memoir, "<a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v34/n07/adam-shatz/nothing-he-hasnt-done-nowhere-he-hasnt-been">The Patagonian Hare</a>," we now have the opportunity to do so.</em> <small>(<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/99134/A-little-white-house-lingers-in-my-memory">previously</a>)</small>post:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.114951Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:28:34 -0800TrurlclaudelanzmannmemoirreviewresistancewwiifrancesartredebeauvoircousteauholocaustshoahdocumentaryfilmmakerdirectorartcinemafilmmoviesBy: facetious

I took out a subscription to the <a href="https://www.lrb.co.uk">LRB</a> just for this sort of writing. The current issue also has a fascinating breakdown of David Bowie's career, an excellent article about an archaeological dig in Bordeaux, and a neat little box-out about the link between higher taxes and privatisation. It's one of the best publications going at the minute.comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.114951-4297651Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:44:54 -0800The River IvelBy: jmccw

I keep waiting/hoping for the day that Shoah appears on Netflix instant view. The film is an incredible experience that - despite all the hype/hyperbole surrounding it - really should be seen by everyone.
(also, i heartily agree with the river ivel about lrb. their rss feed is a weekly shot of awesome. that bowie piece was fantastic.)comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.114951-4297703Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:09:02 -0800jmccwBy: Wolof

In 1981, when making <em>Auschwitz and the Allies</em>, a documentary film for the BBC, I got in touch with the estimable Jan Karski, mentioned by Adam Shatz in his review of Claude Lanzmann's memoir, in the hope of including the remarkable story of his attempt to warn the Allies of the horror unfolding in Poland. Eventually I met with Karski on a research trip to Washington. He agreed to take part, but told me he had been asked by a French director called Claude Lanzmann not to appear in any other documentary. If Lanzmann agreed, then he would happily participate. I rang Lanzmann in Paris. I explained the genesis of the film and argued that surely there was room in both our productions, with their different perspectives, for such an important contribution. 'No,' Lanzmann replied, 'forget your film. I am making a masterpiece.' The conversation ended.

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
