NIGHT AND FOG (Nuit et Brouillard) (1955) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Alain Resnais

 

"One of the most haunting documentaries ever made. Resnais is not afraid to use an accusatory tone in his depiction of the Nazi horrors of concentration camps, through the most brutal authentic images of the time and a hard hitting voice of god narration. While the structure of this work is relatively simple, it is most effective and unsympathetic towards its audience, making it one of the most unique and honest works playing with the viewer’s conscience."
