L'énigme Chouchani - Un film de Michael Grynszpan

 

Génie ou imposteur ? Ange ou démon ? Vagabond ou maître qui fuyait les honneurs ? Certains prétendent qu'il n'était qu'une légende. Comment a-t-il acquis un tel savoir ? Quelle était sa vision du monde ? Quel était son secret ?

Pendant dix ans, le réalisateur Michael Grynszpan a suivi les traces à travers le monde de Monsieur Chouchani, l’énigmatique mentor d’Elie Wiesel, pour révéler l’une des figures les plus mystérieuses du XXe siècle.

Un documentaire d’investigation métaphysique sur un génial vagabond qui fut le maitre d’Elie Wiesel et de bien d’autres

Langue : Hébreu, anglais, français sous-titré en français

 

"Bien que ce soit un documentaire, ça se déroule comme un polar métaphysique"

Haaretz

 

 

The Shoshani Riddle - A film by Michael Grynszpan

 

Genius or impostor? Angel or demon? Vagabond or a master fleeing honors? Some claim he was nothing but a legend. How did he acquire such knowledge? What was his vision of the world? What was his secret?

For ten years, director Michael Grynszpan followed the footsteps of Monsieur Chouchani across the world—the enigmatic mentor of Elie Wiesel—to reveal one of the most mysterious figures of the 20th century.

A metaphysical investigative documentary about a brilliant vagabond who was the master of Elie Wiesel and many others.

 

Language: Hebrew, English, French with French subtitles

 

"Even though it's a documentary, it unfolds like a metaphysical thriller."

Haaretz
