Additional InformationNIGHT AND FOG represents the peak of director Alain Resnais' activities as a short-subject filmmaker. Framed as a documentary, the film is an unsettling view of life inside the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. As he would in his later features (HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, LAST YEAR IN MARIENBAD) Resnais toys with chronology, with memory becoming present reality and vice versa at several critical junctures. Jean Cayrol, later responsible for the script of Resnais' Muriel (1962), wrote the narration for NIGHT AND FOG.
ReviewsFrancois Truffaut - Not a documentary, or an indictment, or a poem, but a meditation on the most important phenomenon of the twentieth century ... for a few hours, Nuit et brouillard wipes out the memory of all other films. It absolutely must be seen., Sight And Sound - Should not be confined to specialist distribution: the evidence it bears should be brought to the public of the world.
