Description

We’re backpacking across Europe all month long and we’ve been circling back around to France for weeks now. What can we say? France loves their movies. We’ve even got a couple of movies this month that are French movies whose directors aren’t even French. For today’s French feature we’re gonna get a little dirty like some stinky muskrats on the banks of the Seine. It’s the river barge life for a newlywed couple who live their lives on a barge with an old Salty Crewman, a Cabin Boy and about 20 cats. Seems like a fun romantic adventure for a hot second until you smell the cabin. How you gonna keep a girl on the farm after she’s been to town? How you gonna keep a girl in town after she’s seen a barge? How you gonna keep a girl on the barge after she’s seen ‘Ol Gay Paree? We discuss Jean Vigo’s final film from his all-too-short life. The 1934 romantic comedy “L’ATALANTE” moves along dreamily and displays a sense of love and passion that really isn’t as common in film as you want it to be. Great character acting and genuine laughs. You can see its foundational roots in French cinema. Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYYjXTiK-R4
