    Vigo was truly a poet of the cinema and one of the very few genuine artists produced by the medium. If you want ravishing images and a cinema of humanity and grace then you must see these fims - they will haunt your imagination.

    A Loss to Cinema History

    The four films he made were exceptional for the time, but viewed together, or one after the other, I found rather too hectic for a normal appraisal. I would suggest that if you rent the package, watch just 'L'Atalante' at first and then the others later, or, like me , you might just suffer from a Vigo overdose on the night. I never realised just how OTT and improvised the main film was, imagining it be just a pleasant trip on a boat. Anything but, for this was full scale drama, complete with Gallic histrionics and melodrama. Nothing peaceful about it at all. All these films were made in Jean Vigo's twenties and, had he lived, just imagine how great a director he would have become. Formidable!
