Product Description
Over a decade in the making, Claude Lanzmann’s nine-hour-plus opus is a monumental investigation of the unthinkable: the murder of more than six million Jews by the Nazis. Using no archival footage, Lanzmann instead focuses on first-person testimonies (of survivors and former Nazis, as well as other witnesses), employing a circular, free-associative method in assembling them. The intellectual yet emotionally overwhelming Shoah is not a film about excavating the past but an intensive portrait of the ways in which the past is always present, and it is inarguably one of the most important cinematic works of all time.

La presentación de Criterion hace justicia a todo lo mencionado, el diseño impecable (es cautivador observar la caja), los documentos, ensayos y material complementario que no hacen más que fortalecer un documental que por si mismo vale la pena.
No bajare la nota, pero si debo comentar que amazon no siempre cuida del todo los envios de estas películas con caja de cartón, siempre llega por uno que otro lado algún golpe, de hecho en esta oportunidad ha sido la única en la cual he pedido devolución por venir dañado el interior. Pese a eso, la devolución y reemplazo fue todo bastante rápido y poco engorroso.
Si sabes inglés, merece la pena que consigas SHOAH y la veas al menos 1 vez en tu vida.
This is not a documentary for the faint of heart. This is real participants and survivors who have a story to tell, each from their unique perspective. That so many of the arguments in favor of annihilating Jews is still advocated around the world today is the most frightening aspect. This DVD is not a tear-jerker - it is an eye opener into who we were, who and what we are becoming, and how so many people now already (still) are.
A monumental accomplishment. Get this and watch.
The picture quality is significantly improved over the DVD which was vastly better than the VHS! Considering its age and the way in which it was filmed it could hardly be better. The image is also 1.37:1 and although it does not sound a lot it looks much larger than the 1.33:1 DVD. Sound is clear and subtitles crisp and well translated from the many languages spoken: French, Polish, German, Yiddish, Russian, Italian, Lithuanian, Hebrew amongst others. My only complaint is the policy of Criterion to not subtitle when English is spoken. Fortunately there is not a lot of English in this series but not to subtitle it is just stupid as it is so heavily accented it is almost another language. Someone in Criterion needs to wake up!
The booklet is very informative if not quite as informative as the huge booklet that came with my Masters of Cinema DVD set.
This by far the best way to view this masterpiece, without question one of the greatest achievements of all time in the history of cinema as a means of education.
Anyone interested in a truthful recounting of the events of the Holocaust should have this collection. It is difficult to comprehend how human beings can sink so low as to treat one another with such barbaric cruelty. And yet, history shows examples over and over again how humans can be either "the Crown of Creation" or lower than the lowest creature.
It is highly unlikely, in this world and political climate of historical revisionism and denial, that anything like this could be made today.
