A PROPOS DE NICE

Vigo's first film is a witty and satirical documentary about the French coastal resort and its inhabitants. Vigo offers a restructured perception of the world- not so much through a seam-less, logical narrative, but rather a fast- paced collection of only tangentially related shots. The film provides a look at a reality beyond the prosaic, common variety that so many films give us. A PROPOS DE NICE (1930) - including extracts from the first version LA NATATION PAR JEAN TARIS (1931) ZERO DE CONDUITE (1933) L’ATALANTE (1934)
