If you loved L'Atalante, try Zéro de conduite : Jeunes diables au collège
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Jean Vigo, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Atalante, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zéro de conduite : Jeunes diables au collège 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.
