Great filmmakers claim the artistic influence of French director Henri-Georges Clouzot (1907-1977), a master of suspense, with a unique vision of the world, who knew how to offer both great shows and subtle studies of characters. Beyond the myth of the tyrannical director, a contrasting portrait of a visionary, an agitator, an artist against the system.

A wonderful documentary that sheds additional light on the fascinating project ‘Inferno’ was, as well as how those who were involved with it reacted to it during the shooting process. A riveting adjunct to the main feature, offering a glut of interviews with various people associated with the production, and presenting quite a bit more production data, as well as some unseen footage from Clouzot's shoot.
Self - Interviewee
Documental sobre la vida y obra de Henri-George Clouzot. "L'enfer" (1964) es el título de la película que el director galo no pudo acabar: en primer lugar, el protagonista, Serge Reggiani, enfermó, y fue sustituido por Jean-Louis Trintignant; después, Clouzot sufrió un ataque al corazón que impidió que el proyecto siguiera adelante. En 1992 la viuda de Clouzot vendió el guión a Claude Chabrol, que hizo la película "El infierno" (L'enfer, 1994).
