Objective: When 29 year old director Jean Vigo died of tuberculosis in 1934 he left behind just three hours of film, comprising one feature and three shorts, but his place in film history is assured. His witty and scathing social critique of the bourgeois tourists of Nice; the inventive, lyrical underwater camera trickery of a champion swimmer; the comical and subversive rebellion of a boys' boarding school and most significantly the quirky and tender love story of newly-wedded couple on a canal barge invented a poetic realism that inspired the French New Wave. Watch and review Vigo's four films to celebrate this master of early cinema.
