Film lawyer-turned-director Ruxandra Medrea co-directs this weird genre documentary with Serge Bromberg, screening at Sitges 2010.
In 1963, Henri-Georges Clouzot wrote an original screenplay titled "L'Enfer" ("Hell"), which told a tragic tale of pathological jealousy. Victim of a heart attack, the film director never finished the film. After 43 years of oblivion, Medrea and Bromberg discovered 185 cans of negative film, all that remains of this chaotic and unfinished adventure. It is the opportunity to recount the story of a magnificent shipwreck and to at last discover these incredible images.
Romanian-born Ruxandra Medrea started her career in film as a lawyer specializing in intellectual property. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno is her first feature documentary as director. You'll notice that she doesn't get credit as such in the trailer.
