Synopsis
Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker
Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz. One of the first cinematic reflections on the horrors of the Holocaust,
Night and Fog contrasts the stillness of the abandoned camps' quiet, empty buildings with haunting wartime footage. With
Night and Fog, Resnais investigates the cyclical nature of man’s violence toward man and presents the unsettling suggestion that such horrors could come again.
