Cinema is littered with creative disasters.
Some of these catastrophes make it to the big screen, others are consigned to the cutting room floor. In 1946, auteur Henri-Georges Clouzot was granted an unlimited budget to make his dream project, L'Enfer (Inferno) about a hotel manager held in the grip of jealousy. Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani were cast as the lead actors but three weeks into principal photography, disaster struck and the film was abandoned. Images from that tumultuous time have never been seen... until now. Directors Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea recover this long lost footage and recreate a new film from the remnants, which is part realisation, part documentary, charting the course of the ill-fated picture under the eye of filmmaking genius Clouzot.
