Clouzot Hell
By FredBaby (42 reviews) from London , 02 Jul 2010[Highly rated reviewer]

Thorough study of the making of this (unreleased) film is valuable to Clouzot completists (me), and those interested in film history and state-of-the-art production in the sixties. Also to fans of Romy Schneider and holidays in France. (Actually, I'm all of these.) On the down side, I'd say that a lot of the ideas and material are repeated unnecessarily by different talking head expositions. All in all it is overlong, but useful.- Was this review helpful to you?

(2)Amazing Tale
By FrankIV (513 reviews) from Cirencester, England , 01 Nov 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
This is an absolutely fascinating account of the making of a film, a particularly interesting section being about the director's experiments to find a visual representation of paranoia. The exercise deteriorates, however, as the film has money thrown at it and the director, in a strange parallel to the subject of the film, becomes obsessed with minutiae and loses control of the whole project, resulting in tensions on the set and between Clouzot and his cast. It made me wish that I could have seen a finished product, and sent me directly to the version finally made by Claude Chabrol with Emmanuel Beart in 1994, on which Clouzot is given writing credits. Again, it's fascinating to compare the two treatments, and, incidentally, to spot the influence of Hitchcock in both. I recommend watching this and then the Chabrol as a double bill.- Was this review helpful to you?
