Night and Fog (Alain Resnais, 1955)

8/10
I haven't watched many Holocaust documentaries (and this one isn't really a documentary) but the images in this one have to be as harrowing as any other out there. It was shot in 1956 so it's one of the first post-WWII movies to touch on the subject and the current footage of the now-inert concentration camps still sitting there overgrown with green grass is just...disorienting. Too bad the movie is so short (30 mins) because I would have liked to have seen more.
