Description

Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1995 - Volume 46 - Numéro 1 - Pages 36-44
The place despite everything, Georges Didi-Huberman.
In Shoah, Lanzmann did not want to make an idealistic film where major questions would be asked but a geographer's, topographie film, by forever returning to places of eternal destruction that, even destroyed after the war, have not changed. For him, the Holocaust must in no case belong to memory, it must remain an inquiry into the present aspects of the camps. What do these camps impose to us? To which images do they refer? What good is it to go back to them? These are the filmmaker's questions who finds the right form to convey what cannot be said. By asking the survivors to return to the camps, Lanzmann has changed the course of cinema in its conscience and in its history.
