HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT'S INFERNO

Legendary French filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot, director of the masterful thrillers, Diabolique and Wages of Fear, began work on what may have been his masterpiece, 1964's Inferno. But due to a number of a circumstances including conflicts with his actors, a nearly unlimited budget, and self-sabotage on Clouzot's part, the film collapsed only 3 weeks into production.

Now, after almost 50 years, a documentary has been produced that weaves the previously shot footage with interviews with those involved with the production. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno will screen at New York City's IFC Center for a limited time. 

From the IFC Center website:

Recently unearthed, the surviving footage proves even more breathtaking than expected; now fleshed out with rediscovered storyboards, photographs and production records, plus interviews with crew members (including Costa-Gavras), the tests and rushes reveal the outlines of a lost treasure.
