In 1964, master director Henri-Georges Clouzot (born on this day) began work on his most ambitious film yet. INFERNO was to be a sun-scorched elucidation of the dark depths of jealousy starring Romy Schneider. However, despite huge expectations, major studio backing, and an unlimited budget, after three weeks the production collapsed under the weight of arguments, technical complications, and illness. In the compelling documentary HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT'S INFERNO (2009)—now playing on the Criterion Channel—Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea present INFERNO’s incredible expressionistic original rushes, screen tests, and on-location footage, in the process reconstructing Clouzot’s original vision and shedding light on the ill-fated endeavor through interviews, dramatizations of unfilmed scenes, and the director’s own notes.
