i watched Shoah over the last 4 nights. riveting movie making, though i have read the critiques. i bought the Criterion Collection DVD, the extra about Sobibor was appalling and (yes) comical at once.

Re-watching the 4-5 hour edit now.
There’s valid criticisms but no doubt the most significant documentary i will ever see.
