I spent last Sunday watching a 1976 film that’s nearly five hours long. Yeah baby, that’s my idea of a dream date. Marcel Ophuls’ The Memory Of Justice has been restored and is doing the festival rounds. A good deal of the film is about the Nuremburg trials, year-long post-war hearings that sought to bring justice to the Holocaust. But Ophuls doesn’t leave it there, he asks bold questions about violence, accountability and denial, and how this plays out in other arenas. Thanks to formative encounters with Vito Russo’s work on the cinema, I have a pretty good nose for sniffing out queers in film, but I have to say that The Memory Of Justice features approximately zero lesbians. Yet queer is in the eye of the beholder and this film resonated strongly with thoughts I’ve been having about violence and accountability as I take stock of 2015 and look forwards to the new year.
