"..Few artists in the history of modern cinema have won reputation so high by achievment so modest.If, that is, works of genius can be described as modest..."
It's fabulous. You'll fall in love with cinema, Dita Parlo, Michel Simon and, I promise, life itself
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.
L'Atalante is the most romantic and possibly the most beautifully filmed film of all time.Zero de Conduite is a little dated but still we wouldn't have had 'If' without this bizarre masterpiece.
I''m giving it five marks because it's influential,very enjoyable and the head teacher in Zero de Conduite is a little odd.
