Synopsis

This documentary and cinematic poem captures the life and the essence of the seaside resort of Nice, while portraying the contrasting lifestyles of its inhabitants. Starting with a series of aerial takes, Jean Vigo’s film continues with scenes that pivot around the Promenade des Anglais.

Our take

A sunny day on the famed Promenade des Anglais gets a satirical twist in this carnivalesque documentary short from Jean Vigo. Ironically juxtaposing scenes of hedonistic pleasures with the hidden poverty of Nice, this enchanting debut playfully bursts the romantic bubble of touristic fantasies.
