Plot

A short documentary that looks at the Nazi concentration camps, joining colour footage of the empty sites with archive images.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alain Resnais's short documentary on the Nazi camps is devastating, mixing colour footage of empty ruins with archival horror. Its restrained narration makes it one of cinema's essential works of memory.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
