I think if you don't love L'Atalante you shouldn't just revoke your "I am a cinema lover" card, you maybe should give back your "I am a human" card. Every sequence from the marriage parade to Michel Simon having enough with the nonsense and finding Juliette --and particularly the moment when he finds her -- is perfect.

In all honestly, this is my choice for the greatest film ever made. Without a doubt, the closest thing to a perfect film that I have ever seen. At the very least, it has the greatest ending.

More like a 3 and a half. Very interesting visually. Solid acting by everyone involved. The story and its resolution left a lot to be desired though.

One of the most beautiful and romantic films ever made. Could have been longer and the happy ending... well. But in such a poetic, tightly directed, and unforgettably acted film, these quibbles are minor. A true masterpiece of European cinema.

All of Jean Vigo's previous work seemed to be leading up to this, his lone feature film. A director for hire work, it is less personal, perhaps, than ZERO DE CONDUITE, but this tale of a newlywed couple on their honeymoon on a French river barge is a keen examination of the ups and downs of married life. Less surrealistic than Vigo's other films, it remains a sly and evocative masterwork.

A perfect film, it defines the use of whimsy in the French cinema. Its attempted destruction by pro-Nazi censors is testament to its power in evoking a world where war and genocide are rarities, indeed, almost cannot happen - there is too much love in its world for such things to occur. Incredible performances by the three leads, and beautiful cinematography by Boris Kaufman. A must-see.

I had heard something about this movie before watching it and then finally had a chance to see it.....at first, it seemed a little dated--odd camera angles, strange acting by the characters, and finally, following the plot was a little tough....but then.... then it all started to come together and by the end I was in love with the characters, the beauty of the film and even the plot! Recommended!

I've seen this movie several times. I was kind of baffled the first time I saw it. It kind of sticks in your mind. I love more and more when I watch it. Also, Dita Parlo is so goddamn adorable. She has such a great face. Vigo is probably a hero to anyone who wants to make movies. The guy basically made this movie while dying of TB. It probably caused him to die early. That's passion.

This is my favorite film. Michel Simon's and Dita Parlo's performances are inbedded in my memory as the most beautiful in cinema history. Pitch perfect to Jean Vigo's vision of simplicity of real lives as art, each subject a real, breathing but poetic being. Vigo would have been a giant had he lived just 5 or 10 years longer.

This is a film that fully transports you to a different time and place, a world that I would have never known existed. Dita Parlo is stunningly beautiful.
