NIGHT AND FOG (1955)

ALAIN RESNAIS

Plot

This is the most powerful and best known documentary on the holocaust ever made. Commissioned by the French Comittee for the History of the Second World War in 1955, it contains some of the most chilling and haunting images of human brutality ever seen. The director uses a simple approach to what must have been a very daunting project, managing not to aestheticise the grim subject matter. A very important film.
