L’enfer 1964 - Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot

Romy Schneider, Serge Reggiani, Dany Carrel, Jean-Claude Bercq 

In 1964, the renowned French filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot began work on what could have been his greatest film.  Cast in the leading roles were two of the best known actors of their generation – Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani.  But three weeks into the shoot, the film was abandoned.  Almost half a century later, the rushes of this three weeks’ work have been found and restored, offering a tantalising glimpse of what could so easily have been Clouzot’s masterpiece.  This documentary gives us a chance to see these remarkable images for the first time, along with an insightful account of the history of this lost film.
