Zéro de conduite, Jean Vigo’s enormously influential portrait of prankish boarding-school students, is one of cinema’s great acts of rebellion. Four rebellious young boys at a repressive French boarding school plot and execute a revolt against their teachers and take over the school. The film, based on the director’s own experiences as a youth, presents childhood as a time of unfettered imagination and brazen rule-flouting. It was banned in France for the twelve years following its debut.
Transportation from Roanoke College may be available if you need it; contact Dr. Teresa Hancock-Parmer (hancock@roanoke.edu) for details.
