If you loved Atalante, try Betragen ungenügend
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jean Vigo, and they both carry the playful, surreal, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Atalante, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Betragen ungenügend is
Jean Vigo here creates a surrealist fever dream of childhood revolt. A group of French boarding school boys stages a full-scale rebellion against their cruel headmaster. It's a glorious fantasy of anarchy, even if it lacks practical advice for overthrowing authority.
