Inferno (2020)
Original title: L’Enfer
This unfinished film was meant to depict the extreme jealousy of a hotelier, Marcel (Serge Reggiani), towards his wife, Odette (Romy Schneider). It was shot partly in black-and-white, partly in colour. Clouzot selected the title as an allusion to Dante's Inferno, and the names Odette and Marcel refer to characters in Marcel Proust's novel À la recherche du temps perdu. It was cancelled after three weeks of shooting and never finished.
