Night and Fog (1956)


NIGHT AND FOG  (1956)  
¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Alain Resnais
A grim, unsparing documentary about concentration camps, with shots of the camps and their peaceful surroundings ten years after the war juxtaposed with horrific footage showing exactly what went on in them between 1940 and 1945. It's hard to believe anybody could deny the Holocaust after watching something like this, but, of course, there are those who do. They're probably the same people who wouldn't object if it happened again.
