Night and Fog (1956)
Night and Fog
1956 / 0 hr 32 minTen years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek in Night and Fog (Nuit et brouillard), one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust. Juxtaposing the stillness of the abandoned camps’ empty buildings with haunting wartime footage, Resnais investigates humanity’s capacity for violence, and presents the devastating suggestion that such horrors could occur again. The restoration of the film was undertaken by Argos Films with the support of the CNC in 2016. The original monophonic soundtrack was restored in 2015 at L.E. Diapason from the 35mm optical positive.
