| Summary: | Sylvie Lindeperg occupies the Chair in Film History at the University of Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and has written several authoritative studies of early films about the Holocaust. Her most important is the wide-ranging, impressively detailed study of Alain Resnais’ brilliant documentary, Nuit et brouillard (Night and Fog), which she published in French in 2007. Now available in English, it is a most welcome—indeed, a pathbreaking—addition to the literature about the cinematic representation of the Shoah. My characterization of the film in this way may puzzle some scholars of Holocaust cinema. |
