Director said

This is the last film made by Jean Vigo during his lifetime. Soon after the film was released, the talented "avant-garde" director unfortunately passed away prematurely.

Except for "Swimming Champion Datans" (1931), the first three films, "Talking Nice" (1930) and "Performance Zero" (1933) have a strong sense of criticism and even obvious subversive tendencies. Although the political meaning of "Barge Atalante" seems to be vague, we cannot...

【Pictures and Shadows】Jean Vigo’s only feature film in the history of filming forever

"Atlanta" is Jean Vigo's only feature film and his posthumous work. It can be said that the history of the film itself is as ill-fated as the director’s short and tragic life.

Zéro de conduite (Zéro de conduite: Jeunes diables au collège, 1933) is a famous feature film that shows a children’s “rebellion” incident in...

The 20 minutes of Paris at the end of the credits are really...

I don’t know why I always think of swallowtail butterflies when I watch this movie. If Iwai Shunji’s elements are a combination of sin and evil, then Vigo’s Atlanta is a dream ship, sailing on the French Inland River. A utopia above but with little physical connection with this world, you walk away because of the temptation on the shore, but you will eventually be repaid by the kindness and love on the...
