Review of L'Atalante (1934) by Eric R — 05 Mar 2010
The film is a masterpiece not because of the tragic story of its maker nor because of its awkward genesis, but because, as Truffaut has said, in filming prosaic words and acts, Vigo effortlessly achieved poetry.
.. The poetic power of the film, however, had a lot to do with the cinematography of the Russian-born Boris Kaufman, who worked on each of Vigo's films.
