Synopsis

The high water mark of French poetic realism. This undisputed masterpiece is set on a barge on the Seine, where a young captain and his bride live with the eccentric Pere Jules. With Boris Kauffman's cinematography, which evokes Paris and the Seine with the luminosity of Atget or Cartier-Bresson, and everyday life full of magical moments like Pere Jules'' "museum" of exotic marvels and the husband''s underwater vision of his lost bride. "May be the greatest film ever made" (Georgia Brown, The Village Voice). With Dita Parlo, Jean Daste and Michel Simon. In French with English subtitles. Jean Vigo---France---1934---89 mins.

The quintessential French film, complete with love, jealousy, and surreal landscapes. A great starter film for those new to European Cinema.
