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. Jean Vigo made only four films in his short life. Except for "Swimming Champion Datans" (1931), the first three films, "Talking...

"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. Before shooting this film, Jean Vigo made three short films: "À propos de Nice" (À propos de Nice, 1930) and "Taris, roi de...

There are still silent film remnants in some places. The story is relatively smooth, but its complexity and artistic depth are not as good as that of directors of the same era as Murnau (of course they are of different styles). In the end, the first mate (really a good person) was too easy to meet...

Just seeing the title of this movie, I always thought it was a disaster at sea or a doomsday at sea or a vanishing empire. However, it is a romance film. But it's not just love, it's a mixture of married life and whimsical ideas.

At the beginning of the film, the captain and Juliet in a wedding...
