Night and Fog

“Then here’s a movie by Alain Resnais that I saw when I was quite young, called Night and Fog. It’s a meditation on Auschwitz, which sounds quite heavy going, but I think it’s a portrait. It’s very still. And I just remember it being a very powerful sort of entry point into… early entry point for me into ideas about animism and about the density of memory and the past that exists in materiality.”

“Night and Fog. The film that, to me, in its most unflinching way describes the Third Reich, the Holocaust and the concentration camps. So you have to have strong nerves to go and watch this one.”
