Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno slippes på DVD 12.april. Dokumentarfilmen handler om filmen L’Enfer (The Inferno), som Henri-Georges Clouzot i 1964 forsøkte å lage, men ikke fikk fullført. The Guardian skriver:
«Clouzot was clearly delusional, but as the electrifying documentary Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno demonstrates, he was also in the throes of a creative renaissance which may have put paid to the criticisms of those nouvelle vague upstarts who had branded him a dinosaur. Certainly, the test footage dramatising the protagonist’s descent into madness is extraordinary – absurdly adventurous, creepily sensual and unsettling in the extreme. Shots of Romy Schneider licking water through fractured kaleidoscopic lenses call to mind Kenneth Anger’s demonic celluloid incantations, while tales of lakes being dyed to accommodate a «colour reversal» process smack of Michael Cimino losing the plot on Heaven’s Gate.»
