Luce, À Propos de Jean Vigo, Luce, À Propos de Jean Vigo

Leïla Férault-Lévy

France, 2016, Color, 60’

For the first time ever, and for a day only, Luce Vigo opens for her son the trunk containing the archives of her parents, who died when she was a child. Luce’s words relate the cinema life of Jean Vigo and his companions: Stork, Kaufman, Dulac or Painlevé. Luce only understood the weight of this legacy when she was fourteen. Later on, she became a mother and a teacher, and using all her strength, she managed to make another cinema life out of it: her life. She spent this life defending and showing films. (V.P.)
