Trade ReviewClaude Lanzmann’s
Shoah is notorious not only for its length but for the huge quantity of its outtakes. Vice’s book not only demonstrates that the daunting outtake material demands to be viewed, but also provides a model of how to read it. -- Dominic Williams, Northumbria University, UK
