Claude Lanzmann, the famous French filmmaker best known for the Holocaust documentary Shoah, has died aged 92.
For the publication, Lanzmann would write various articles about Israel, a subject that would also become a central theme to various later documentaries.
Shoah, released in 1985, has long been seen as one of the most imported documentaries ever made, often being labelled a ‘masterpiece’.
The publishing house for Lanzmann’s autobiography, Gallimard, confirmed to Associated Press that Lanzmann died Thursday (5 July) morning at Paris hospital.
