    Masterpieces

    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.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Considerable Charm

    There are three films on this DVD, in parts satirical in tone, in others surreal, in others poetic. The longest, 'L'Atlante', has such a slight plot and so little in the way of event, but creates an atmosphere which draws the viewer in and holds the attention. This director's work has clearly been very influential and it's easy to see why. It's no good watching them with hindsight - they have to be appreciated in the spirit of the times in which they were made, and admired for their sly humour, warmth and technique.
