Claude Lanzmann, the French film-maker and journalist who is best known for the more than 9-hour holocaust documentary "Shoah," has died aged 92, French newspaper Le Monde reported Thursday. The news was confirmed by his family, although no cause of death was offered. Lanzmann spent 11 years making "Shoah," which has a running time of 560 minutes. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants to France won many awards for the documentary, which was released in 1985, including the New York Times Critics Circle award for best non-fiction film, the BAFTA award for best documentary, the Berlin International Film Festival Caligari film award, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association special award. The director's final film, Napalm, was shown at Cannes in 2017 and centered around visits made to North Korea as a young journalist.
