In 1934, France, directed by Jean Vigo, starring Dita Parlo.
When filmmakers all over the world used comic films as their main themes to create, French films present a completely different style. The film has comical sections, but the poetic realism of the film has far exceeded the category of comic films. In other words From "Atlanta" we can see the development after the early film comics.
Jean Vigo died at the age of 29, leaving an image of about three and a half hours, which is similar to Hu Bo to some extent. Hu Bo also passed away at the age of 29, leaving behind three and a half hours of "Elephant Sitting on the Floor." The similarity is not only the time of passing away and leaving the image, but even the process of making the movie is surprisingly similar.
After shooting and editing the samples of "Atlanta", the producers and distributors were extremely dissatisfied. At this time, Jean Vigo was already dying. The production company edited the film again. We cannot know whether Jean Vigo was seriously ill. Agree to this editing. The "Elephant Sitting on the Floor" sample has also been spurned by the producer, and now we see the edited version after the director's death, we also cannot know whether Hu Bo agrees.
Boats, enclosed spaces, and tedious life; Paris, open spaces, and colorful cities, also metaphors the heroine's dreams.
