À Propos de Nice

Home Documentary À Propos de Nice

Initially appearing as a simple travelogue, Jean Vigo's avant-garde short film evolves into a sharp, satirical portrait of 1930s Nice. It contrasts the city's sun-kissed beauty and the frivolous lives of its wealthy vacationers with the grittier existence of the local working class. Through a series of striking visual juxtapositions, the film critiques social inequality and the idleness of the rich, creating a powerful city symphony with a critical eye.
