Overview
In 1964, Henri-Georges Clouzot's production of L'Enfer came to a halt. Despite huge expectations, major studio backing and an unlimited budget, after three weeks the production collapsed. This documentary presents Inferno's incredible expressionistic original rushes, screen tests, and on-location footage, whilst also reconstructing Clouzot's original vision, and shedding light on the ill-fated endeavor through interviews, dramatizations of unfilmed scenes, and Clouzot's own notes.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting excavation of a legendary filmmaker's abandoned masterpiece, pieced together from raw footage and fragments into a meditation on artistic ambition and the gap between vision and reality. It's as much a portrait of creative obsession as it is a window into cinema history.
