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.
