France, 2009
Documentary

Synopsis

In 1964, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s production of L’Enfer starring Romy Schneider came to a halt. The footage, forgotten for over fifty years, were found, and film archivist Serge Bromberg uncovered a treasure trove of breathtaking imagery, telling us of what would have been a unique film.

Our take

By a cinematic twist of fate, a famous film archivist got stuck in an elevator with the widow of the acclaimed French director Henri-Georges Clouzot. They began to talk about Clouzot’s final, unfinished film, and the result was Inferno: part documentary, part drama, a true work of cinephilia.
