L’Atalante (Jean Vigo 1934)
Posted on March 09 at 9.07, 2004 by Eric Mahleb
Many have declared that had Vigo’s life not been unfortunately cut short at the age of 29, he would have surely gone on to become one of cinema’s undisputed masters. L’Atalante certainly offers several touches of genius and has its fair share of beautiful and poetic shots. Vigo seemed interested in trying out various ideas, mixing genres and using an array of different camera angles. There is enough in this film to warrant the claim that he was indeed destined for greatness. But he hadn’t reached that point yet and L’Atalante can sometimes be a reminder of this fact.
