Zéro de conduit: Jeunes diables au college, France
[44 min; 1933; b/w; French with English subtitles]
Director: Jean Vigo
Recipient of the Parajanov-Vartanov Institute Award for Best Film, Parajanov-Vartanov Awards 2011
Effervescent and charming, a landmark film in the history of motion pictures, Jean Vigo’s enormously influential portrait of prankish boarding-school students is one of cinema’s great acts of rebellion. Based on the director’s own experiences as a youth, Zéro de conduite presents childhood as a time of unfettered imagination and brazen rule-flouting.
