Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno
A documentary by archivist/restorationists Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea, culled from 15 hours of footage from Clouzot’s unfinished 1964 film L’enfer. Cannot wait to see this.
Trailer:
The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw—
The 57-year-old director of Les Diaboliques and The Wages of Fear set out to challenge the arrogant new-wave arrivistes by making the ultimate auteurist film, a study of pathological jealousy using state-of-the-art aural and visual effects to convey states of mind. Columbia Studios gave him carte blanche, and Clouzot went ahead with Serge Regianni and Romy Schneider starring and three full camera crews. But he began acting like the crazy director in Fellini’s 8½ (a picture he sought to emulate), lost all sense of urgency, drove Regianni to collapse and himself had a heart attack.
For additional background, see Todd McCarthy’s Variety review and Marilyn Ferdinand’s review from the Chicago International Film Festival.
