L'Atalante (1934) (French: Le Chaland Qui Passe {The Passing Barge})
Director: Jean Vigo
Watched: March 2018
Rating: 7/10
{Clue: This film proves that more is not always better; sometimes, this is best.}
Silent film spirit with limited dialogue- instead spotlighting poetic images and enchanting scenes,
Interesting supporting characters with colorful personalities, like the one-man band street peddler that tries to woo Juliette,
Magical realism elements like the folk tale that says one can see the face of their true lover in the water and that celestial underwater love scene,
Père Jules is the glue that holds this little barge party together- with his wiseness disguised by comical antics,
Lacks character and emotional depth; more a playful work of art than a film masterpiece,
Easily makes the list of magical, timeless love stories- though overrated by critics and top ten lists.
Acrostic is a form of poetry where the first letters in each line, paragraph, or word are doubly used to spell a name, phrase, or word. The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek words "akros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of verse). Read the appropriate letters in the poem vertically to reveal the extra message, called the "acrostich"! #Acrostic #PoemReview #Classics
