Jean Vigo's fanciful film about boarding school boys rebelling against their oppressive school masters is serious, yet silly, realistic, yet surreal. It did influence many later films like The 400 Blows and If... among many others. I can't say I'm totally onboard the Vigo bandwagon, but at just 41 minutes, it wouldn't hurt to watch it a couple of times and see how this one moves you.
Yes, it was a bit difficult to get into this one. I never really understood the point, but it was certainly influential.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been interesting to see how Vigo's career would have developed if he had lived.
