Intriguing stuff, full of arty shots of a pouting Schneider, it’s well worth a look, even though it’s presented here with only vague information about its context.

Reviews for Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno
1 - 14 (sorted by date)
A fascinating picture.
11/13/09
Superbly portrays the truly extraordinary and inventive vision this doomed movie could have unleashed upon the world.
11/06/09
What survives is a striking cautionary tale for budding filmmakers and a haunting evocation of experimentation run amok.
11/06/09
This 'unmaking-of' documentary is as mesmerisingly compelling as its subject might have been, and adds some splendidly disorienting reels to the cinema of anxiety. Unmissable - even if we all missed the film at its centre.
11/06/09
Up there with Lost in La Mancha as a glorious chronicle of film-making folly, the documentary Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno is a beguiling account of a movie that never happened.
11/06/09
Bromberg examines this lost footage and his assemblage is perhaps more fascinating than the completed work would have been. A must-see.
11/06/09
What’s clear is that the film really does look like a lost masterpiece, a synthesis of Hitchcockian psychosis and pure ‘60s style. Bromberg’s doc deserves to be the last word on an enigmatic film.
11/06/09
Bromberg tells the fascinating story of a controlling director who was given free rein to push back the boundaries of cinema, only to find his own sanity jeopardised.
11/06/09
This is perhaps the greatest “making of” documentary ever produced.
11/06/09
Inferno could have been a film to rank alongside Vertigo or Peeping Tom and its abandonment is one of cinema’s great tragedies. This is a dazzling act of resurrection.
11/06/09
Shocking, enthralling, educative. It proves that falling in love with cinema can be, for some who pick it as a career, the most health-endangering thing of all.
11/06/09
Unearths footage of camera tests and experiments in kinetic art and colouration that suggest how very remarkable the film might have been. At times, it recalls Hitchcock's use of optical trickery in Vertigo.
11/06/09
This artistic doc pieces together the story of a masterpiece that never was. It's perhaps a little overworked, but cinephiles will love every glorious frame.
