"I don't think of Marienbad as an enigma. Each spectator can find his own solution. But it won't be the same solution for everyone." Alain Resnais.
Considering Toute la Mémoire du Monde, Hiroshima mon amour, Nuit et brouillard, and so on and so forth, the Enigma in question consisted of its dreamlike imagery, inspired by psychoanalysis. Resnais' films explored the power of memory and the problem of forgetting.

Night and Fog, Nuit et Broulliard, Nacht und Nebel - Alain Resnais (1955) | Fred Vogels (2023)

In 2011 schreef ik de eerste versie, vandaag maakte ik 'm af. Nu ook met ondertitels (vertaald uit de Franse versie van Resnais zelf). Het was zwaar om te componeren, misselijk, huilen. Werkelijk waar, ik hield het niet droog. Loodzwaar was het. Omdat ik de verschrikkelijke beelden moest toelaten in mijn hoofd om de muziek te kunnen schrijven. Maar het is nu definitief af. Voor mij dan. Wat een werk, wat een film. Verschrikkelijk. De muziek is helemaal geworden wat ik bedoelde: de horror van oorlog verklanken. Confrontatie, intimidatie en nog een half woordenboek aan negatieve begrippen. Waarom doe het dan? Omdat niemand anders het doet. Misschien ook om te waarschuwen. Men gaat elkaar nog steeds te lijf met de meest verschrikkelijke middelen. Men kijkt weg. Men is met zichzelf bezig. Het enige wapen wat ik heb is mijn muziek in mijn hoofd. Ik vrees het ergste.

Night and Fog (French: Nuit et brouillard) is a 1955 French documentary short film. Directed by Alain Resnais, it was made ten years after the liberation of Nazi concentration camps. The documentary features the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek while describing the lives of prisoners in the camps. Night and Fog was made in collaboration with scriptwriter Jean Cayrol, a survivor of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp.

The music of the soundtrack was composed by Hanns Eisler. Resnais was originally hesitant about making the film and refused the offer to make it until Cayrol was contracted to write the script. The film was shot entirely in the year 1955 and is composed of contemporary shots of the camps and stock footage. Resnais and Cayrol found the film very difficult to make due to its graphic nature and subject matter.

The film faced difficulties with French censors unhappy with a shot of a French police officer in the film, and with the German embassy in France, which attempted to halt the film's release at the Cannes Film Festival.

Night and Fog was released to very positive acclaim and still receives very high praise today. It was then re-shown in 1990, to remind the people of the 'horrors of war'.

I wrote a new score for this film. The idea came when somebody said that the Eisler music was too "happy". I did not agree with that, but I took the challence to write my musical view on this difficult subject. (Fred Vogels)
