The Masters of Cinema Series THE DVD CATALOGUE.
Founded in 2004, The Masters of Cinema Series is a carefully #1 Sunrise F. W. Murnau 1927
curated UK-based DVD and Blu-ray label consisting of over 100 #2 THE HOLY MOUNTAIN Arnold Fanck 1926
films – from full-blown masterworks such as Sunrise, UGETSU #3 Michael Carl Th. Dreyer 1924
MONOGATARI, METROPOLIS, and LA NOTTE – to rarer films equally #4 Tartuffe F. W. Murnau 1926
deserving of visibility among a wider audience. The most sublime #5 Pitfall Teshigahara Hiroshi 1962
works of the greatest filmmakers mingle with lesser-known #6 The Face of Another Teshigahara Hiroshi 1966
productions that nevertheless represent cinema at its best.

BOOK insights of those who experienced these events first hand.
Absent from the film is any imagery shot at the time the Holocaust occurred. There is only Lanzmann
and his crew, filming in private spaces and now-dormant zones of eradication to extract testimony
from a series of survivors, witnesses, and oppressors alike. Through his relentless questioning
(aided on occasion by hidden camera), Lanzmann is able to coax out material of unparalleled
BOX 3x emotional truth that constitutes both precious oral history and withering indictment.
SET DVDs
Shoah (the title is a common designation for the Holocaust, and a Hebrew word that can be
translated as “Catastrophe” or “Annihilation”) was the first of Lanzmann’s films to analyse the
effects of the death camps on individual lives and the world at large. It represents an aesthetic
achievement in line with Alain Resnais’s Night and Fog, combining inquiry, rage, and mourning
to create a monumental portrait of shame and grief. Shoah locates within the present a direct line

to the horrors of the past, and is widely regarded as one of the most powerful films of all time.
