Claude Lanzmann, the director of the famed Holocaust documentary Shoah, was detained at Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport Tuesday after he allegedly tried to hug and kiss an airport security agent who was questioning him. The incident reportedly happened after the 86-year-old filmmaker was subjected to Ben-Gurion’s routine questioning, some of the most rigorous in the world. Lanzmann was later allowed to board his flight to Paris.
