Claudio C @Claudio666 May 22 L'enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot / Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno (2009) The Making of a Never Made Film (12,461 – 22 May 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) Henri-Georges Clouzot is one of the best French directors ever, and "Inferno" is a unfinished film. When Serge Bromberg met Clouzot’s widow, he had access to footage without sound. He prepared this documentary, showing scenes mainly of Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani, production information, statements from the crew and representation of certain scenes by Jacques Gamblin and Bérénice Bejo. They say that Clouzot demanded too much from cast and crew and shortly after Reggiani leaving the production, Clouzot had a heart attack and the film never ended. Claude Chabrol bought the screenplay from Clouzot’s widow and made the wonderful "Hell" (1994). My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "O Inferno de Henri-Georges Clouzot" ("The Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno") See more 05/22/2013 I'm surprised that there is an audience that appreciated this film. Upon finding a canister of an unfinished film. the film maker probably would have been better off just showing us what was within. Instead we have a meandering mess of images that confuses Clouzot's original intentions. See more 05/04/2012 Bromberg semble avoir conçu son film comme le tournage du film de Clouzot. Un tournage infernal pour l'un, un enfer à monter pour l'autre. Un tournage infernal pour les acteurs, un Enfer pour les yeux des spectateurs. Les illusions d'optique nous font perdre le sens des realites et finissent par nous rendre fous nous aussi. Passionnant et angoissant documentaire sur un film inacheve.

See more 06/03/2011 Finally a movie/documentary that surprises me by its quality and originality. Astonishing! This is the kind of film I'd been searching for: kind of noir, bizarre, stylish, sexy, psychological... With all the essence of the "sixties" in Europe, reminding me of Hitchcock and Raul Ruiz, has a touch of nouvelle vague, op-art, electro-acoustic music, mixed with elements from the English film scene. Totally loved it. See more 05/07/2011 A fascinating and cautionary tale about director hubris. See more Read all reviews
