L’Atalante

Jean Vigo’s achingly romantic tale of desire and hope screened in a courtyard next to Deptford Creek.

*RAIN FORECAST – NOW INDOORS *

Jean , a barge captain, marries Juliette, an innocent country girl, and the two climb aboard Jean’s boat, the L’Atalante—otherwise populated by an earthy first mate 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.
