Virtuoso Jean Vigo

A true meteor in the history of cinema, Jean Vigo left an indelible mark with only four films before his untimely death at the age of twenty-nine. He blended social criticism with experimental filmmaking in À propos de Nice; tackled the technical challenge of filming underwater in Taris; provoked the wrath of censors with his anarchist masterpiece Zero for Conduct; and crafted a unique, unforgettable feature film, L’Atalante, whose poetic beauty has inspired many great filmmakers. We invite you to rediscover this dazzling work in its entirety over one weekend.
