Zéro de conduite (1933)
French featurette directed by Jean Vigo. It was first shown on 7 April 1933 and was subsequently banned in France until November 1945. The film draws extensively on Vigo's boarding school experiences to depict a repressive and bureaucratised educational establishment in which surreal acts of rebellion occur, reflecting Vigo's anarchist view of childhood. The title refers to a mark the boys would get which prevented them from going out on Sundays. Though the film was not an immediate success with audiences, it has proven to be enduringly influential.
