Phoenix Classics - French Season: L'Atalante

Phoenix Classics presents French Season. The only full-length feature by Jean Vigo is a beguiling tale rich in sensuality and poetry, unjustly butchered ahead of its release. A newlywed couple – the young captain of the titular barge and his co8untry bride – embark on a life together on the canals of northern France. But travelling through Paris on the way to Le Havre, the wife becomes attracted to the exotic city life. This lyrical romance transcends love, combining dreamlike visions with reality. Mutilated for its release and then banned as ‘anti-French’, L’Atalante has no equals nor successors.Foreign Romance/Drama/ComedyPT1H24MPG2025-11-23
