Points for trying

Zero for Conduct (1933)

Written and directed by Jean Vigo this film stars Gerard de Bedarieux, Louis Lefebvre, Gilbert Pruchon and Coco Golstein. Due to the strict nature of their school four school boys plan to revolt.

This film is fairly short, running only 41 minutes, so there is not a huge amount of plot here and things are kept fairly basic. As a comedy there are some funny moments with a large pillow fight being the highlight of the film but you would not say this is a film that keeps you laughing through out. At times the film shows it's age and some of the editing and general direction is a little rough at times.


3/5
