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.

MUBI's take

By a cinematic twist of fate, a film archivist got stuck in an elevator with the widow of acclaimed French director Henri-Georges Clouzot. They talked about his final unfinished film, and the result was Inferno: part documentary, part drama, and a shimmering, hallucinatory work of cinephilia.
