Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno

The 1964 L'Enfer, starring Romy Schneider, was one of those projects in which everything goes wrong. Clouzot (Diabolique) lost control of his vision; co-star Serge Reggiani walked out; Clouzot then had a heart attack. Serge Bromberg's doc is a loving autopsy of a ravishing corpse.
