A PROPOS DE NICEJEAN VIGO, 1929duration: 23 minutes
place: Nice
themes: city + classic

The film makers filmed the rich ladies strolling along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice with a hidden camera. Later, Vigo combined these sequences with images from the old city center and its misery, adding satirical snapshots from the zoo. Provoking takes of luxurious hotels and giant monuments expose the questionableness of a world full of freewheeling and privileges.
