Documentalist Serge Bromberg suffers from claustrophobia. One day I was stuck for two hours in the elevator, right between the third and fourth floor of a Parisian building. But it is not so bad, something good did not work out. He was accompanied by a woman named Ines. A woman who in the pages of history of malignant signed up that there was nothing major, but just someone she knew. That someone was her late husband, Henri-Georges Clouzot , called the French Hitchcock creator of such classic images as Kruk, Price fear or spectrum. The talks of the two quickly became a famous art director. We both loved it. Finally, Ines mentioned Clouzota work life, I never unfinished film, Fri Hell. Film, which was to be revolution of cinema as 8 and a half, which led creator to myocardial infarction.
Bromberg and directed by Ruxandra Mendreę Inferno - unfinished hell is a unique attempt to reconstruct the infamous work, which quickly turns into a despotic portrait of the artist. The document consists mainly of the unusual, experimental test shots for the film (click ), filmed a few scenes and staging of the remaining parts, as well as interviews with members of a large team. The main protagonist of the unfinished erotic drama was a man whose jealousy of a young, attractive wife, bordered on insanity. Any strange look in her direction treated as evidence of potential betrayal. Each was a strong stimulus to his imagination, which was lost as a paranoid schizophrenic. Overlapping words he repeated like a mantra, and ambient sounds create a kind of anti-music, subsequent images are combined with each other, rozmywały, they created another. Reality underwent increasing deformation, which was a constant witness to the viewer. It is these unusual surreal visions were to be a milestone in the development of cinema, as the maximum subjectivisation narrative film. On a scale probably caused more than 30 years later, David Lynch's paintings. But also in a way completely different.
Clouzot took to writing Hell in the early 60s, being fresh off his next success, judicial drama True with Brigitte Bardot in the role. The scenario was created over 2 years and its first version had a good 300 (!) Pages. The film was Hollywood's financial support label, so that already in the early pre-production phase was about it loudly. And it got even louder when the plan came to U.S. producers were impressed by the pictures of sample tests and experiments, the director offered an unlimited budget. What is the only French master wants, it will receive, the price is irrelevant. But as we learn from hell unfinished, the space budget of nothing easier, and perhaps quite the contrary. What is certain is only one thing - the director did not know exactly how to translate their ideas into extraordinary film. Visual experiments stretched months and no one knew what he wanted them properly Clouzot achieve. He wandered, and with it the team, which will soon have a quarrel. During the session devoted to the project document is not hard to resist the impression that the ambitions have outgrown the possibility of a creator. Image and Mendrei Bromberg, a painfully honest account of his personal hell. Fragments of unfinished works are impressive, but sometimes black thoughts come to mind: is originality certainly would translate into quality? Is this movie really was worth such a sunset could this director's raging ego completely overshadowed his eyes? Above all, however, give the impression that their hero was alone Clouzot. The man, whose broke his own visions. Unfinished hell tells us this directly. But to the end of the great director with due respect and admiration. The film with the class.
