alain resnais in 1955 made this film about the nazi concentration camps.
juxtaposing brutal disturbing black and white footage from the past with shots of the architecture of the buildings in the camps today (or at least the time he was making the film)
an attempt to read into our past and our possible future through a look into our souls.
the evidence being footprints. scratches on concrete walls. air vents. and found footage.
somewhat similar to the other resnais film i saw 'last year at marienbad' especially the lingering dream like nature that the film creates through the cameras caresses in space.
a great film. highly recommended.
