By a customer from Twickenham, England , 08 Aug 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)Unglamorous Thirties
By tzec (65 reviews) , 15 Feb 2012The Nice travelogue was interesting, but the biopic of the French swimmer was not!
As for the school boys... I understood none of this.
Love on a barge was engaging enough though there were continuity errors both filmicly and in the story telling.

Hard work!
By evansalone (6 reviews) from London , 13 Jul 2011The main two films - L'Atalante and Zero - aren't easy watches. There's not much of an attempt at a story. The other two pieces - Nice and Taris - are in documentary style, where Vigo is much more comfortable. He's more of a photographer than a film-maker, as some of the beautifully composed shots in Nice demonstrate.- Was this review helpful to you?

L'Atalante is a must see.
By degarmo1 (13 reviews) from Edinburgh , 13 Feb 2011L'Atalante is a complete classic. The rest are odd bits and pieces which are rather redundant. I don't care much for Zero de Conduite at all.
So the stars here are for L'Atalante- Was this review helpful to you?

Just marvellous .....L'atalante!
By glimpse (23 reviews) from Nailsea, Bristol , 25 May 2009I've been a francophile for a long time, but this film was just so staggeringly wonderful, I had to do a review. (Normally can't be bothered!)
The girl lead is gorgeous, as is the mate on the boat.
Supporting actors fit in just right, and it seems so real......not a film. It's very funny frequently, sad too, and also happy at times.....
So give it a run. You won't regret it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Atalante
By a customer from London , 14 Feb 2009I found this tender sensitive account of ealry marital troubles of a couple living on a Seine barge with tough old mariner father/father-in- law Michle Simon utterly captivating: French cinema at its best . Camerawork is deft, and tells you all you need to know about the context and the plot and period. A true Classic
Like 'Zero de Conduite', in which schoolboys take over the school full of incompetent teachers for a few hours. Every schoolboy's dream. A forerunner of 'If' but much more light-hearted.- Was this review helpful to you?
