Although he only made four films before his death from tuberculosis at the age of 29, Jean Vigo would come to have an outsized influence on cinema, particularly the French New Wave, with François Truffaut in particular paying homage to Vigo's anarchic boarding school students in "Zero for Conduct" during the classroom and recess scenes in his 1959 film "The 400 Blows."
Vigo's first film, a short documentary about people from all walks of life in Nice, showing both the ennui of the vacationing bourgeoisie (truncated)
