This film was released in 1932, and was directed by Jean Vigo whom was a lyrical film maker. This film was about a boarding school in France where the children had decided to act against the teachers and to break out. This film was apparently the first film to use slow motion in the pillow fight scene of the film. Also when we were discussing the film I heard that in that scene the music was played backwards which I however did not notice. Apparently when this film came out it was banned as it was thought it may encourage riots and it was the first film which had children fiddling in it. I felt this film was rather boring and having subtitles and being in black and white made it more dull for me.
