IX. Schöne Eleonore's Film Boudoir

featuring

L'Atalante

1934

Jean Vigo

( French mit English Untertitel )

… In Jean Vigo’s hands, an unassuming tale of conjugal love becomes an achingly romantic reverie of desire and hope. Jean (Jean Dasté), a barge captain, marries Juliette (Dita Parlo), an innocent country girl, and the two climb aboard Jean’s boat, the L’Atalante—otherwise populated by an earthy first mate (Michel Simon) and a multitude of mangy cats—and embark on their new life together. Both a surprisingly erotic idyll and a clear-eyed meditation on love, L’Atalante, Vigo’s only feature-length work, is a film like no other. …

(The Criterion Collection Synopsis)

After “Le Quai Des Brumes”(3^rd Film Boudoir), this is a second film of Poetic Realism style we will watch aboard Eleonore. There might again be no happy ending, I'm afraid, but L'Atalante is claimed to be the “greatest film of all times”by many critics and we shall not miss out on it.

And where it could be a better place to watch such a story than aboard of a ship?
