Nuit et Brouillard, Night and Fog




I recently stumbled upon this classically French philosophical look at the horrors of WWII. This film was created in 1955 by the French Committee for the History of the Second World War. It is one of the most potent and illicit views of the horrors of the German concentration camps. The film is lower quality black and white, but it only lends itself to the message and the aura of the film. The French narrator delivers solemn monotone lines when needed but mostly allows the images to sink in.
