"a sad, cursed—but still beautiful—cautionary tale."
"Love is Hell: Down, down, into fiery depths of French auteur Clouzot's imagination, and his unfinished masterpiece 'Inferno.'"
3 STARS! (OUT OF 4) “triumphant realization of Clouzot’s vision”
4 Stars! " directors Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea succeed at situating their viewers in the turmoil within the director’s own skull as his production becomes mired in confusion, neurosis and misfortune."
4 Stars! "a fascinating study of a film that never was."
4 Stars!! "In the pantheon of great films that never got made, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 8½-inspired drama — the shooting of which was halted a few weeks into production in 1964 — might top them all. Reconstituted from recently rediscovered rushes, test footage and new scenes of actors performing from the script, this attempt to imagine what Inferno might’ve been if Clouzot had not lost hold of the reins is a true marvel. The glimpses of the dazzling, op-art inspired effects and star Romy Scheider at her dishiest will provoke paroxysms of pleasure among cinephiles."
4 Stars!! "The images – long, hypnotic, gorgeous tracking shots of Reggiani's obsessive behaviour, the legendary Schneider (never more beautiful) fetishized, smoking cigarette after cigarette – prove the director was pushing the boundaries of psychological narrative cinema. The cumulative effect of the repetition of the found footage is mesmerizing."
"Truly magical; a must-see for film lovers"
"Inferno plays with the past: Brilliant French documentary pieces together failed project; "essential cinema"
