Format:VHS Tape
Zero de Conduite is one of Jean Vigo's two classic works (the other being L'atalante) and an initial work of surrealism that would elicit much influence on films such as Orphee, Les Quatre Cents Coups and, most famously, would provide the notion behind Lindsay Anderson's classic If...(1968).
This is only a short work, 45 minutes, and elements may remind you of films like Freaks or Eraserhead - though the classic Bunuel/Dali collaboration Un Chien Andalou may also spring to mind. It also reminded me a little of the Bergman-scripted Torment.
Zero de Conduite is still a classic of world cinema and along with the superior L'atalante remains a film to be seen by anyone interested in the development of film from its beginnings just before the 20th century. As Scott Walker said: "I tip to Vigo"-

Beautiful, surreal view of the life of young children
28 Oct 1999
Jean Vigo excels in presenting life as a sort of surreal dream, with bits of humanity scattered throughout. In 'Zero In Conduct', it seems he finally gets to live out a fantasy of childhood rebellion, probably one in which many have shared. There are many beautiful and innovative shots, including the gorgeous slow-motion march through the falling feathers. It occurred to me that Francois Truffaut may have seen this film before he made 'The 400 Blows'. Highly recommended for fans of 'L'Atalante', however the 'International Film Series' version sold here at Amazon is a very low-quality print, so be careful.

Strange and wonderful
18 April 1999
Imagine a film directed by a small child who was also a cinematic genius, or by a Martian who had never seen a movie except "L'Age D'Or" and the complete works of Charlie Chaplin ...
"Zero de Conduite" is the most authentic picture of the world of childhood ever committed to celluloid: luminous, surreal, shocking, lyrical, sensual, rebellious, innocent, cruel, and very funny. It's really impossible to describe - but see it, and you'll dream it for the rest of your life.
If you love it, rush out in search of "L'Atalante", the only other feature Vigo made before his early death.

Vigo = Genius
6 April 1999
This is the best film about the beauty of revolt. The pillow fight scene is the best, and I might add that this film made my school years .... much more understandable, as well as bareable. I presume viewers will feel the same.
