L'Atalante Swimming Scene

[DerrickthePinecone]

Isn't the music score here by Georges Delarue? One of the best composers EVER of film scoring, particularly his score for the poignant masterpiece, RAPTURE.

I love how americans praise this film whereas here in france nobody except film students know it

We can't even celebrate our own culture!

[SylvieEvin]

it is an old legend, you see the face of your true love in water

[TheLeilisa]

which swimming styles if done regularly will make you grow taller?

[giles422]

won't you post this great work in it's entirety? Bless you for putting this scene up- Zero can be seen elsewhere on YouTube, but for me, this is the film of Vigo that must be seen and felt.

[dsiyoum]

i love vigo L'Atlante is brillant and its sad that he was taken from us at the ripe age of 29 vigo was the man that helped Renoir and Carne advance poetic realism

I cry Sight and sound poll in '12 will place this film in the top five next time i guarantee

[Mazurka1001]

Poetic realism.

[sabr1namarques]

[keitel10]

Extraordinary!!! I´ve no words. Thanks for post it :)))

Jean Vigo is without a doubt a genius. Modern audiences need to re-discover this masterpiece including Zero De Conduite.

[MrPogle]

Yes indeed. French Poetic Realism, no? This was my favorite film from my way-back-when film history uni courses. Your recommendations are 'spot on', 1928javier. Thanks to rdelima1 for posting.

[UppityQueer]

@1928javier Nah, Inception and Twilight suffice us and are much better. It doesn't even have colors.
