Darkness

Darkness delves into the Vichy regime and the events surrounding Hohenzoern Castle, presenting a complex narrative tied to World War II. The documentary combines essay film techniques with documentary footage, offering a vivid portrayal of historical events that have rarely been depicted in such detail.

At 84 minutes, the film is an adaptation of Céline's texts, specifically his novel, Castle to Castle, which reflects on his time in Sigmaringen. This unique approach allows viewers to engage with history through a literary lens, making it a significant work for those interested in documentary filmmaking and historical narratives.
