35KBetragen ungenügend: Directed by Jean Vigo. With Jean Dasté, Robert le Flon, Du Verron, Delphin. In a repressive boarding school with rigid rules of behavior, four boys decide to rebel against the direction on a celebration day.
“Vigou0026#39;s first fiction film is one of my favorites classics of all. From the presentation of the characters you can realize that the movie is something special; the kids are just great: they are intelligent, funny and over all, rebel , but with no loss of their candid side. The adults receive a grotesque layer of paint to put the olive to the acid-social humor cocktail. The technical department may be a little under the possibilities of its time, but still Vigou0026#39;s crew make it by the smart use of simple resources like the dramatical application of animated items or simple edition tricks. The rest must be seen, not told so get the DVD, forget those fancy details like surround sound (or clear sound) colors or complicated effects and relax for 45 minutes of a simple but rich classic.”
