Part original, part documentary and part reconstruction, HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT’S INFERNO tells the emotional story of the 1964 ill-fated project L’ENFER (INFERNO), an enigmatic and original film about a hotel manager who becomes possessed by the demons of jealousy. Henri-Georges Clouzot chose Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani as the lead actors and was given an unlimited budget. The feature was touted to be the cinematographic event of the decade. However, three weeks into filming, drama unfolds and the project aborted. Decades later, having uncovered some of the original rushes and screen tests, directors Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea have succeeded in recreating a new film from the remnants and brought it to fruition.
