The complete Jean Vigo

DVD 2011

Even among cinema's greatest legends, Jean Vigo stands alone. The son of a notorious anarchist, Vigo had a brief but brilliant career making poetic, lightly surrealist films before his life was cut tragically short by tuberculosis at age twenty-nine. Like the daring early works of his contemporaries Jean Cocteau and Luis Bu䮵el, Vigo's films refused to play by the rules. This set includes all of Vigo's titles.
