A reflection on footage of the holocaust.

This is footage every human being needs to see. And watching it is probably the worst experience you will ever have watching a film.

NO OF PAGES: 0 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Hailed as one of the world's greatest documentaries, Night and Fog is the definitive film on Nazi concentration camps and a devastating record of man's inhumanity to man. Like a master conductor, director Alain Resnais weaves contemporary images of the abandoned camp at Auschwitz with newsreel footage of the atrocities that occurred there. Juxtaposing color and black-and-white film, Night and Fog brings the horror of the Holocaust to the present. An elegy on memory and immeasurable sorrow, this tightly structured half-hour film foreshadows Resnais' remarkable feature films. Upon its release, Froncois Truffaut called it the greatest film ever made. Audio in French, with English subtitles. 30 mins.NOTES: SUBTITLE: One of the Five Greatest Documentaries
