With the “Wages of Fear”, “Diabolique” and “Quay of the Goldsmiths”, Henri-Georges Clouzot is revealed as a master of suspense, turning human neuroses into a breathtaking spectacle.

Although he influenced many major contemporary film-makers (Friedkin, Spielberg), Clouzot has been overlooked in France. Yet, he is a true author, with a unique vision of the world, bringing together successfully the French art of character analysis and the American art of great spectacle.
By looking more closely at the romanesque side of his work, one discovers an elusive man,  an inventive Jack-of-all-trades. Henri-Georges Clouzot’s portrait reveals a man of vision, an agitator, an artist in opposition to the system.
