About This Item

N.p.: N.p., 1930. Vintage borderless photograph from the 1930 French silent short documentary film. Mimeo snipe on the verso.

Although he only made four films before his death from tuberculosis at the age of 29, Jean Vigo would come to have an outsized influence on cinema, particularly the French New Wave, with François Truffaut in particular paying homage to Vigo's anarchic boarding school students in "Zero for Conduct" during the classroom and recess scenes in his 1959 film "The 400 Blows."

Vigo's first film, a short documentary about people from all walks of life in Nice, showing both the ennui of the vacationing bourgeoisie and the struggles of life in the slums.

9.25 x 7 inches. Very Good plus, moderately age toned.
