In the 1950s and '60s, Henri-Georges Clouzot was one of France's most acclaimed and successful filmmakers, a director who enjoyed massive international success with Le Salaire de la Peur (aka The Wages of Fear) and Les Diaboliques, and his gift for generating tension and suspense onscreen earned him the nickname "the French Hitchcock." In 1963, Clouzot began work on a project called "L'Enfer" (aka "The Inferno"), a tale of jealousy that leads to madness, and the filmmaker was promised all the time and resources he needed for the picture. However, while the director was meticulously prepared when shooting began, after only three weeks the production was halted and never resumed; Clouzot would complete only two more films before his death in 1977. Filmmakers Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea try to answer the question of what happened to a project so full of promise in L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot (aka Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno), a documentary which looks into the shadowy history of this lost film. Including interviews with members of the cast and crew (among them production assistant Costa-Gavras, who went on to a distinguished career of his own) and excerpts from the surviving footage (seen by the public for the first time here), the film tells the tale of how a great director ran afoul of his own demons while making a movie about a troubled man. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno received its world premiere at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot (Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno)
The remains of an aborted movie can become a fascinating pastiche.John Hartl-Seattle Times
The results are like nothing you've seen before: Clouzot seemed to be reinventing the medium itself.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
A fascinating exploration of artistic self-destruction and hubris...
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
It is, in effect, a making-of documentary about a movie that was never made -- a movie that was supposed to revolutionize the art form and that survives, in the limbo between intention and realization, as an intriguing possibility.
A.O. Scott-New York Times
[A] frequently tantalizing, if featherweight, documentary reconstruction.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
For all the irrationality that fueled Clouzot's project, it's reasonable to assume that the finished Inferno would never have been any better or more evocative than this arrangement of its shards.
J. Hoberman-Village Voice
... doesn't attempt to reconstruct, only reveal the play with imagery, the experiments in expression, the visual ideas at play and the obsessive drive to keep exploring...
Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
The new documentary unveils lots of amazing-looking footage for the first time.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A fascinating peek behind the scenes of Clouzot's colossal failure ... (and) a compelling portrait of what happens when an artist's ego is allowed to run amok.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Especially recommended for diehard film lovers, this cinematic archaeological dig will interest anyone fascinated by one of filmdom's great might-have-beens.
David Noh-Film Journal International
An amazing glimpse into not only what could have been but how easy it is for a filmmaker to go down the rabbit hole into his own project-killing obsessive behavior.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever
Thankfully, the story -- and especially Clouzot's existing footage -- is fascinating enough to transcend the treatment.
Keith Phipps-AV Club
mesmerizing
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com
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.
Edward Porter-Sunday Times (UK)
A fascinating picture.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Superbly portrays the truly extraordinary and inventive vision this doomed movie could have unleashed upon the world.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
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.
Anton Bitel-Film4
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.
Kevin Maher-Times [UK]

Movie Overview For L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot (Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno)
This documentary about Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished 1964 psycho-thriller L’Enfer is as tantalizing as it is frustrating. Despite remaining one of the most masterful of French directors, Cluozot inexplicably seems to have lost control on the big-budget production of L’Enfer. The long-lost raw footage is intriguing and dazzling, infused with swirling lights and blue-lipped, cigarette-puffing fantasy temptresses. Although directors Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Mederea have managed to speak to numerous members of the original crew, this behind-the-scenes investigation has so little to say about the reasons behind Clouzot’s failure to complete the film. In spite of this, the undiminished power of Clouzot’s extraordinary images makes the documentary a fascinating watch.TagLine L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot (Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno) The story behind the story of one of the most famous unfinished movies.
