From time to time a film comes around that looks to be absolutely essential viewing for lovers of cinema. And Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno looks to be one of those films.
A documentary by Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea, the film is a look at Inferno, the troubled, unfinished production from legendary director Henri-Georges Clouzot. Blending footage from the unfinished film with interviews and other documentary footage explaining the life and work of the director of Diabolique this is just absolutely riveting - to say nothing of visually stunning - stuff.
The first trailer for the film has arrived and it includes English subtitles. Check it below.
