L'Atalante: a perfect film?

200.165.248.96

The beautiful cinematography, the quiet power of the male lead and the tactile sensuality of the beautiful wife...and the transcendent, masterful performance of Michel Simon as the first-mate.
Has any better depiction of marriage ever been filmed? Has a bygone age ever been so perfectly captured?
The restored DVD-version is wonderful.
IMO, one of the most perfect works of art ever produced, in any medium. What a tragedy Vigo died so young...
(And, audio buffs, you can see an early system and the--even then--- trials of tweaking!)
