Monseigneur Lefebvre, un évêque dans la tempête (released as Marcel Lefebvre – Archbishop in Stormy Times in the US and UK) is a 2012 documentary film by French director Jacques-Régis du Cray, primarily based on the biography A biography of Archbishop Lefebvre written by Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais.

Marcel Lefebvre (1905 – 1991) was a French Roman Catholic archbishop. Following a career as an Apostolic Delegate for West Africa and Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers, he took the lead in opposing the changes within the Church associated with the Second Vatican Council. In 1970, Lefebvre founded the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). In 1988, against the express prohibition of Pope John Paul II, he consecrated four bishops to continue his work with the SSPX. The Holy See immediately declared that he and the other bishops who had participated in the ceremony had incurred automatic excommunication under Catholic canon law.

The documentary project, which started in 2006, was endorsed and received the active support of Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X. It collects the stories of bishops, priests, the communities Archbishop Lefebvre served, as well as interviews of the surviving members of the Archbishop's family. According to the scriptwriter, the purpose of the documentary was "to make known to the multitude, and not just to the faithful of the Society of St. Pius X, a personage through whom we comprehend the crisis in the (Roman Catholic) Church."

The documentary premiered on September 29, 2012, at Le Grand Rex, the largest cinema, theater and music venue in Paris. After the first public showing in 2012, the film was sold in DVD format. The documentary is available in English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Polish.

The movie begins with the following statement: This is a film about radical Islamic terror. A dangerous ideology, fueled by religious hatred. It's important to remember most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror. This is not a film about them. This is a film about a radical worldview, and the threat it poses to us all, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. The film uses many images from Arab TV, provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute and Palestinian Media Watch.

Dans le cadre de ses travaux sur Shoah, Claude Lanzmann s'est longuement entretenu avec le rabbin Benjamin Murmelstein, au sujet de son rôle ambivalent comme haut fonctionnaire de la communauté juive de Vienne, contrôlée par Adolf Eichmann pendant la période nazie, et comme un « doyen juif » dans le camp de concentration de Terezín. En se filmant au présent sur les lieux évoqués dans les images de 1975, Lanzmann introduit une interrogation critique sur les moyens d'évoquer le passé au cinéma.
