L'Atalante (1934)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 89m
Director: Jean Vigo
Cast: Jean Dasté, Dita Parlo, Michel Simon
Synopsis:
A barge captain marries a headstrong girl who quickly tires of life on the canals with the strange Père Jules and the cabin boy for company.
Review:
At times touching, frank or sensual but missing the irreverence of the director's other films; instead he opts for an atmosphere of poetic fatalism that transcends any aesthetic of realism and is like a wispy watercolour painted with light and shade.
