A major inspiration to subsequent generations of filmmakers, yet no one has ever succeeded in matching it.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Originally released in 1934, Jean Vigo's first and only full-length feature is one of the cinema's greatest masterpieces.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
A landmark of French cinema and one of the most beloved film romances.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
The action is episodic and diffuse but Michel Simon, as the dour and cat-loving barge hand lends a bit of comic relief to the pallidly poetic proceedings.
