Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18154 ratings)

Description:The definitive biography of one of the legendary poets of the cinema. Although Jean Vigo made only four films early in this century, two of them-Zéro de Conduite and L'Atalante-are poetic, anarchic, dreamlike creations that are among the seminal works of the French cinema, their influence extending long after Vigo's untimely death in 1934 at the age of twenty-nine. This book traces the extraordinary circumstances of Vigo's life and career. Born out of wedlock in a Paris garret and haunted all his life by the injustice done to his father-a militant anarchist who was murdered in a French prison in 1917-Vigo spent most of his working life battling authorities wary of his political background, censors suspicious of the subversive nature of his films, and, finally, the tuberculosis that eventually killed him. This edition contains a new Afterword by film historian Paul Ryan, which brings the material on Vigo's films up to date and puts them into perspective in their overall place in film history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
