Zero de Conduite

This was a 1933 film directed by Jean Vigo- a lyrical film maker. His film was immediately banned as it was thought that it may encourage rioting and rebellion. It was basically about a boys french boarding school, where the pupils decided they would rebel against who was in charge and escape. I think this was the first film with a narrative to ever use slow motion..and apparently the music to this specific part played backwards.

I thought the film was slightly boring to be honest. I didn't feel there was anything happening until the last ten minutes. Plus I hate having to read subtitles, especially when someones head is in the way and keeps moving. I'm much more interested in modern films that use amazing techniques and animation.
