Zero for Conduct and À Propos de Nice

Essential Cinema: Complete Works of Jean Vigo: Vigo's short films helped establish the realism that was influential on the French New Wave. "Zero for Conduct" is a visual memoir of boys in the schoolyard and the no-good they get up to, while "À Propos de Nice" is more serious in nature, using footage from newsreels and propaganda films to expose the harsh economic realities of the Depression era.
