Those are some fine paragraphs, my friend.
After watching all 4 of his movies, it makes me very sad that he left us so early on. The man had vast talent and who knows how many more masterpieces he could have made. That being said, the 4 movies he did make are all wonderful, playful, visually beautiful, unique and at times masterful.
I like that he uses joy and freedom of expression to reflect his philosophy of Anarchism.
4 Paragraphs on Jean Vigo: http://www.hydramag.com/2011/11/25/paragraphs-jean-vigo/
Vigo's films are pure cinematic bliss. He has a playful and reckless style that no director can match (at least from what I've seen). I guess it's true that some of the best die young.
