Jean Vigo (English and French Edition)

By Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes

Book Overview

Although Jean Vigo made only four firms early in this century, two of them -- Zero de Conduite and L'Atalante -- are poetic, anarchic, dreamlike creations that are among the seminal works of the French cinema, their influence extending long after Vigo's untimely death in 1934 at the age of twenty-nine. This book traces the extraordinary circumstances of Vigo's life and career.
