Documentarian Claude Lanzmann brings the ghosts of the Holocaust back to vivid life once again The Last of the Unjust, a dense and haunting investigation into complicity and moral quandary.

Watching the film is like entering a labyrinth, following a winding thread of story that seems unlikely ever to come to an end. May 2, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Murmelstein addresses Lanzmann's skepticism and questions with earnestness, passion and -- as if the rest of it wasn't troubling enough -- what seems like total recall. Mar 6, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Lanzmann organizes the material achronologically, presenting Murmelstein's narrative out of order and intercutting it with footage of Theresienstadt shot in 2012; this complex structure evokes a sense of moral vertigo that's nearly impossible to shake. Feb 28, 2014 | Full Review…

The running time (like all Lanzmann's films) is not oppressive but allows for Murmelstein and his interlocutor to talk through, around and inside the context and reality of pragmatism, egoism, heroism and evil. Apr 3, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Claude Lanzmann has created a new film whose heart is the interview footage shot for his monumental "Shoah" project of Austrian Benjamin Murmelstein, the so-called last of the Jewish Elders, those nominally in charge of the Nazis' Jewish ghettos. Nov 16, 2017 | Full Review…

The Last of the Unjust breaks with the rigorous approach its director previously employed to find a just way to talk about the Nazis' mass murder of the Jews with film. Oct 2, 2017 | Full Review…

To some degree, the force of The Last of the Unjust is delivered in spite of Lanzmann's laxness as a filmmaker. Apr 12, 2016 | Full Review…

The best one can say for this troubling, if intermittently fascinating, mess is that it succeeds in raising questions, moral as well as aesthetic, that it cannot answer. Dec 31, 2015 | Full Review…

At three and a half hours, this documentary sometimes feels both overlong and far too detailed, but filmmaker Claude Lanzmann knows that this material is vitally important, and by putting it all out there he challenges the viewer to understand the truth. Jan 12, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
