    This film is a work of commemoration and reflection on the tenth anniversary of the end of World War II, exposing the brutal crimes in the Nazi concentration camps. The meaning is to hope that there will be no more wars and no more inhuman massacres. However, in the second half of the 20th century, many tragedies have been repeated all over the world, and perhaps mankind will never be able to learn lessons from...

    Aaron Resnay's documentary exposing the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, although only a short 32 minutes, has always been recognized as a masterpiece of documentary films, and the shocking effect is far more than "Schindler's List". Especially the piles of hair, skulls and corpses of women, dry prisoners, human skins with marks printed on them, and scratches on the walls in the gas chamber are all impressive. Can't think of a reason not to give it five...

    Resnais' shots, as always, give static objects life and signs of movement through movement, freeze and angle switching, haunting animation. Archival fragments are the denunciation and petrification of all motion, life, and flesh, turning them into objects, implements, and fragments. Looking for the ghost of memory from the absence and the...

    The real, cruel and terrifying images, even black and white images, still have an unbearable "shock" and "hatred" of the Nazis. This documentary can be watched together with "Schindler's List", so that you can feel the greatness of "Schindler" even more, he saved thousands of Jews from the suffering of "hell on earth", or, Watching it together with "The Destruction of the Empire", I feel even more that Hitler deserved...

    A short documentary about Nazi concentration camps, the music is light, but the pictures are heavy. Watching too much of this movie will make you nervous. The war is over, but please keep your eyes...

    Heavy, especially when the massive amount of women's hair is played slowly in a frame. This, this is not like a movie, this is real! In front of these cameras, there is nothing to...

    The suffering of history can never be healed

    I can see a distinct personal style in this work of Alain Resnais. Although there were some records of concentration camps at that time, they were lackluster. Through the stylized artistic features, "Night and Fog" became the most important part of the 50th century. A documentary of the era.

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: With our sincere gaze we survey these ruins, as if the old monster lay crushed forever beneath the rubble. We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past, as if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps. We pretend it happened all at once, at a given time and place. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us and a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry.

  • Récitant/Narrator: 1933 - The machine gets under way. The nation must all sing the same song, with no wrong notes.
