L’Atalante Jean Vigo
This was a great little film. Made by Vigo as he was sick with tuberculosis, he actually directed several scenes from bed. It is about a young married couple who live on a boat with an older man and a young boy. The married couple has to figure out how to make their relationship work and how to accept and deal with each others faults. Its a really great, and a really mature film for one made by a 29 year old. It is also really fucking funny when it wants to be and very sad when it wants to be. Over all, this is a really great film. I thoroughly enjoyed it and if you’re okay with old foreign films, you definitely will too. Highly recommended.
