本片探讨二战期间欧洲的犹太人大灭绝，这部主题、形式、范围均博大宽广的电影巨著，是我们每个人应当看的作品。
从记忆和历史的角度看，《浩劫》与其它反映犹太人大灭绝的作品相比，在证词的强烈程度和历史的严谨上高出一筹。克罗德·朗兹曼在13年间经常寻找事件和地点的真相。
《浩劫》既是出色的历史文献，详尽描绘着纳粹灭绝机器，也是一首长长的诔词，将观众带入形而上的体验，带到野蛮的根源。
《浩劫》包涵着庞大的记者工作，在调查和采访方面堪称典范，但它又不只是报道。它同时也是电影巨著（尤其是其剪接），将数十个小时的采访以相互回答、相互碰撞、相互衔接的方式组接起来，一再询问“为什么”却永远得不到答案，因为恐怖已无公度。克罗德·朗兹曼说：“《浩劫》这部影片有关死亡的绝对性，而与幸存者无关。活下去是另一个故事。”

Since 1999, Claude Lanzmann has made several films that could be considered satellites of Shoah, comprised of interviews conducted in the 1970s that didn’t make it into the final, monumental work. He has just completed a series of four new films, built around four women from four different areas of Eastern Europe with four different destinies, each finding herself unexpectedly and improbably alive after war’s end: Ruth Elias from Ostravia, Czechoslovakia; Paula Biren from Lodz, Poland; Ada Lichtman from further south in Krakow; and Hannah Marton from Cluj, or Kolozsvár, in Transylvania. “What they have in common,” wrote Lanzmann, “apart from the specific horrors each one of them was subjected to, is their intelligence, an incisive, sharp and carnal intelligence that rejects all pretence and false reasons—in a word—idealism.” What is so remarkable about Lanzmann’s films is the way that they stay within the immediate present tense, where the absolute horror of the shoah is always happening.

地点：特莱西恩施塔特，一个独特的被阿道夫·艾希曼称为“模范集中营”而宣传的地方，隐藏着其真实面目——毒气室前的最后一步而误导着世界和犹太人民。一个男人：本杰明·穆勒斯坦因，特莱西恩施塔特犹太议会的最后一任主席，被流放的落难英雄，从1938年至战争结束期间被迫与艾希曼日复一日地谈判，而到了艾希曼被审判之日却甚至没有被传唤作证，尽管他无疑是最了解这位纳粹死刑执行者的人。距离《浩劫》超过二十五年，克劳德·朗兹曼的新作展现了纳粹大屠杀鲜为人知却意义重大的一面，并前所未有地揭示了“最终方案”的起源。
A place: Theresienstadt. A unique place of propaganda which Adolf Eichmann called the "model ghetto", designed to mislead the world and Jewish people regarding its real nature, to be the last step before the gas chamber. A man: Benjamin Murmelstein, last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council, a fallen hero condemned to exile, who was forced to negotiate day after day from 1938 until the end of the war with Eichmann, to whose trial Murmelstein wasn't even called to testify. Even though he was without a doubt the one who knew the Nazi executioner best. More than twenty-five years after Shoah, Claude Lanzmann's new film reveals a little-known yet fundamental aspect of the Holocaust, and sheds light on the origins of the "Final Solution" like never before.

◎ 简　　介：
纪录片极少能入围《电影手册》的十佳，但这一部从内容到表现手法却是真正的震撼人心。
影片讲述了一个犹太人红军上尉组织集中营的犯人反抗德国士兵的事件，那是纳粹集中营里唯一一次成功的暴动，片名是那次暴动的时间地点。这部电影基本由导演与当事人耶华达·雷纳之间的访谈对话组成，当影片结束时导演报出所有被送到索比堡集中营者的到达时间、国籍和编码，带给观者一种极为可怕的感受。

“Napalm,” is said to be about North Korea. Those who’ve read Lanzmann’s autobiography, “The Patagonian Hare,” know what a distinctive and surprising role that country plays in Lanzmann’s life
