Year: 1955
Director: Alain Resnais
Plot: Night and Fog represents the peak of director Alain Resnais' activities as a short-subject filmmaker. Framed as a documentary, the film is an unsettling view of life inside the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. As he would in his later features (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Last Year at Marienbad et. al.) Resnais toys with chronology, with memory becoming present reality and vice versa at several critical junctures. Jean Cayrol, later responsible for the script of Resnais' Muriel (1962), wrote the narration for Night and Fog. The film was originally released in France as Nuit et Brouillard. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I watched this film a while back, and it was really a film that stuck with me. This is a short documentary in black and white, about the concentration camps and I must say it is quite powerful.  It's a different kind of powerful though.  When we watch a movie like Schindler's list or The Pianist, the mystique of the Hollywood story pulls us in, enchants us, and wines and dines us.  It is all made possible with the magic of movie making.  With emotion, story, script.  And while it is all very affecting, there is something different about Night and Fog.  The narration is monotone.  It feels like what it is.  A documentation of what went on.  It feels like somebody going through a filing cabinet and reading off the facts of the case.  This gives way to a chilling striking reality.  Everything shown on screen isn't makeup and actors digging deep for a striking performance.  It is chilling reality that reminds us how humans treated one another a few decades ago, and how not much has changed.

Body: Night And Fog contains images that are so intensely jarring, that I found myself thinking it wasn't real. This film only 30 minutes in length (couldn't stomach much more), shows rare footage of the holocaust victims and the concentration camps. Michael Bouquet (who is a holocaust survivor) beautifully narrates this film. It reminds us of the importance of what happened in WWII. P.S. Truffaut called the best film ever made!
