I only heard of this black and white French film because it appears in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, so I decided to try it. The film reflects on director Jean Vigo's boarding school experiences and his anarchist view on childhood. The film is basically showing all the children rebelling against the teachers, and the leaders of this revolt are Caussat (Louis Lefebvre) and Bruel (Coco Golstein). Starring Jean Dasté as Superintendent Huguet, Robert Le Flon as Superintendent Pète-Sec, Du Verron as Superintendent-Général Bec-De-Gaz, Delphin as Principal, Pierre Blanchar as Superintendent General, Léon Larive as Chemistry Professor, Madame Émile as Madame Colin and Louis De Gonzague-Frick as Le Préfet. This satire is only forty minutes long, and when it was released it was banned for causing anger and hostility, probably for the idea of kids at school going out of control, only thing I can see wrong was a kid saying a swear word, it is a worthwhile classic comedy drama. Very good!
