This lyrical and graphic documentary--one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust's horror--has deeply affected film's treatment of the Holocaust ever since, including Spielberg's SCHINDLER'S LIST. Documentarian Alain Resnais contrasts 1955 footage of abandoned concentration camps' quiet, empty buildings with black-and-white footage shot there in 1944; the film's overwhelming resonance comes in its allowing the haunting images to stand on their own: a grainy, back-lit hill of human hair, a pyramid of shoes.

Reviews for Night and Fog
Regardless, this is a film that must be viewed. It's almost a prerequisite to being human to have to come face to face with your own capacity for inhumanity. Only after you recognize it can you deal with it.
Provokes contemplative self-inquiry, and moves us beyond our initial and immediate emotionally simplistic knee-jerk horror and disgust.
Of all the films made about the Holocaust, Alain Resnais’ Night and Fog (Nuit et brouillard) is quite possibly the most moving and thought-provoking,
When it comes to Holocaust documentaries, there is simply no further word than Alain Resnais's Night and Fog.
A landmark documentary that is arguably the foremost film ever made about the Holocaust.
Every time I see another film that references the Holocaust, my mind instantly flashes back to this remarkable documentary
Only half an hour long, this is the greatest film ever made about the concentration camps.
