Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

L'Atalante is another one of my favorites

Jean Vigo died at 29... such a loss. Of four films he made I saw two - that one and Zero for Conduct.

I bet you didn't know Georgy Daneliya made essentially a remake of L'Atalante, called Fortuna... not too bad either, but set in the bandit Russia of the nineties.

Well, maybe a "remake" is too strong a word, but you will definitely recall the Vigo's film when watching the Fortuna.

Of course there's no Michel Simon in Fortuna.
