Inferno

Posted by Fabio 11 June 2010

Henri-Georges Clouzot chose 26 years-old Romy Schneider and 42 years-old Serge Reggiani, to be the leads of L’ENFER. An enigmatic and original project; an unlimited budget; a film, which was meant to be the cinematographic event at its release. However, after 3 weeks into filming, drama happens.The project is interrupted and the images, which were told to be “incredible”, will never be shown.

Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea recovered those images that were forgotten for half a century and they are more mind-blowing than the legend predicted. They are telling a unique film, of madness and jealousy filmed from a subjective point of view, the story of a cursed film and director Henri-Georges Clouzot extraordinary talent. Romy Schneider has never been so beautiful and magnetic. Never a director has been so close to the hero he invented. The film shows L’ENFER such as it was shot and tells the emotional story of a magnificent failure.
