"Ophuls made films at a time when he could count on his viewers’ attention span and the existence of a self-confident liberal establishment, firmly in command and practically begging to be exposed for its hypocrisy. Both are in decline, and the forces that drove Ophuls and his family out of Europe are on the rise again."

Marcel Ophuls, one of the greatest documentarians of his era, died on Saturday at age 97. The son of famed director Max Opuls, he was born in Germany, but fled to France to escape the Nazis and ended up in Hollywood. His 1969 film, "The Sorrow and the Pity," explored the moral ambiguity of French people under German occupation in WWII, and was banned from French television for more than a decade because, TV executives said, it "destroyed the myths the French still need." He won an Oscar for “Hôtel Terminus,” his 1988 portrait of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie. Here's more from PBS.
