NIGHT AND FOG (1955)

Night and Fog is a short documentary that depicts Nazi concentration camps in a brutal manner that will not leave anyone untouched.  However, this is Resnais' intention as he shows the contrasts between inhumane treatment of prisoners in the death camps during the World War II and the peaceful ruins of former death camps after the war.  Night and Fog leaves the audience with a cinematic experience that depicts the horror from within concentration camps that should never be forgotten in order prevent reoccurrences of similar events in the future.  This cinematic experience is brilliant (if one could use such a word with such a tragedy) as a historic account for what happened in the many death camps around Europe during World War II.
