    "When the memories go back in time, we pretend to have hope again. It's as if we and the victims in the camps are healed. We pretend it's only going to happen once, in one place, at a time, we don't see our surroundings, we pretend we can't hear the constant flow of humanity....

    Memory and forgetting are the enduring motifs of Resnais' films, and this film is the starting point of this motif. When Resnais made this film, he clearly separated the past and the present (the time of the fascist atrocities and the time of the filming), using black and white to express the brutal past of the concentration camps, and color films to express the peaceful present of the concentration camps. Commentary written by novelist Jean Cayrol adds to the film's unparalleled impact. (via...

    "Night and Fog", Alain Resnais, the representative of the French New Wave, was shot in 1955, ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

    On the application of Brecht's alienation technique in the audio-visual language of "Night and Fog"

    The famous German dramatist Brecht proposed the "distancing method" in 1936 and applied it in performances. It refers to keeping the distance between the actor and the character, the audience and the character through the alienation effect, so that the audience and the actor can view the...

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: Grass flourishes on the inspection ground around the blocks. An abandoned village, still heavy with peril. The crematoria are no longer used. The Nazi's cunning is but child's play today. Nine million dead haunt this countryside.

  • Récitant/Narrator: Who among us keeps watch over this strange watchtower to warn the arrival of our new executioners? Are their faces really different from our own?
