This week it was the turn of the 1933 film 'Zero de conduite' directed by Jean Vigo. The film was banned immediately as it was feared it may lead to encouraging rebellion and rioting. It wasn't until February 15th 1946 that the film appeared and it wasn't immediately popular but it heavily influenced the 1959 film '400 blows' and then later Lindsay Anderson's film 'If'.
The film itself is set in a french boarding school and pupils eventually spark a rebellion against those in charge.
I felt that the film was ok. Its not a film i would normally select to watch and i don't think its one that would influence myself or my work. Im personally much more influenced by more modern films that have unique camera angles and special effects.
