Jean Vigo's timeless masterpiece of love and yearning is returning to the big screen in a glorious 4K restoration.
Dita Parlo stars as a young bride who begins married life aboard her husband’s barge on the Seine. But within its cramped confines, shared with a small crew (including the eccentric Père Jules, memorably played by Michel Simon) and an abundance of cats, the relationship begins to flounder.
L’Atalante was the only full-length film made by Vigo before his tragic early death. Vigo imbues this simple tale, beautifully shot by Boris Kaufman, with social realism, lyrical romance and sensual eroticism to create a unique and enduring classic.
