Capricious small-town girl Juliette and barge captain Jean marry after a whirlwind courtship, and she comes to live aboard his boat, L'Atalante. As they make their way down the Seine, Jean grows weary of Juliette's flirtations with his all-male crew, and Juliette longs to escape the monotony of the boat and experience the excitement of a big city. When she steals away to Paris by herself, her husband begins to think their marriage was a mistake.

Difficult to penetrate for me. It plays like a dream, with images that stick with me while not cohering into much of anything explicable. Could be worth rewatching, but I'm beginning to develop a firm conviction that 30s French cinema is just not for me. Shoutout to all the great cats in this one, though.

I had huge expectations considering its reputation as one of the greatest film of all time. I really don't get the hype.

This movie represents the end of Jean Vigo's career and life, being merely his 4th movie and his one and only full-length one. A gentle, contemplative classic.
