“an enthralling documentary…” - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Henry-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno / L’enfer d’Henri-Georges Clouzot
Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea, 2009, France, 94m
Reassembling 15 hours of rushes not seen since 1964, Serge Bromberg resurrects the surviving footage of filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot’s aborted 1960’s experimental film L’Enfer. World famous for his classic nail-biters The Wages of Fear (1953) and Diabolique (1955), Clouzot was France’s most successful genre filmmaker when he decided to enter the modernism sweepstakes, going up against Resnais, Antonioni, and the nouvelle vague—as well as his acknowledged rival Alfred Hitchcock—with an ultra-subjective psychological thriller predicated on a middle-aged man’s paranoid suspicions concerning his young wife (Romy Schneider, unforgettable in blue lipstick). Shooting the same scenes over and over, Clouzot was unable to finish his would-be magnum opus; as these characters disintegrated, so did their creator. Combined with interviews of several people who worked on the film, Inferno tells a story of madness and delusion even more haunting than the one intended.
