Sucks that more people know about Ed Wood than about Jean Vigo, dead at 29, and almost forgotten.

Tuberculosis is a bitch

Aw hey don't get down on Ed Wood, Glenn or Glennda. He doesn't make Vigo not good, and I'm going to check out this movie during Christmas some time.

It's funny that many people say that Jean Vigo is forgotten but he's one of the most worshiped silent filmmakers of his time and is mandatory in all film school curriculum in the world.


Glenn or Glennda - 2009-12-13

Silent? You're sort of making my point for me.


Glenn or Glennda - 2009-12-13

I certainly didn't mean to get down on Ed Wood and it's probably true that Jean Vigo is better remembered in places other than 21st Century US, and I'm glad to hear that Vigo is still taught in film schools. That's where I learned about him in the 70s, though I've hardly heard his name mentioned since.

Manfred feels me. It's tuberculosis. Tuberculosis cheated Vigo, cheated us all.

When I triied to submit Zero De Conduite just now, I saw that Baleen allready had... so he must have already known that Vigo made sound films. It must have just been a slip of some sort.

Hey! Looks like there's a real treasure trove of Vigo on the Web! I'm going to start submitting... now!
