À propos de Nice

Watch Film

Release Year: 1930

Director: Jean Vigo

Review: A very bizarre, experimental, short.  Showing everyday life in Nice, France, the film is a series of images of both the frivolities of the wealthy and the despair of the poor.  There was an overuse of stylized camerawork that added nothing to the film.  However, there were also some innovative progression shots, with the scene changing but the camera not moving.  It was somewhat interesting to just see the shots of average people going about their lives in the early 30's.  Unfortunately the complete lack of narrative and meandering shot sequence did not hold my interest and I was just waiting for it to end.
Rating: 1.5/5
