PRIX JEAN VIGO - MAINE-OCéAN (MAINE-OCEAN EXPRESS)
Created in 1951 and awarded annually, the Prix Jean Vigo was established
in the name of the French filmmaker who made his indelible mark with
Zéro de conduite and L'Atalante before his death at the age of
twenty-nine. In a yearlong tribute to the award and the filmmakers it
has honored, the Department of Film presents works by past winners. All
films are in French with English subtitles, unless otherwise noted.
Organized by Véronique Godard, Prix Jean Vigo Committee; and Jytte
Jensen, Curator, and Leigh Goldstein, Executive Assistant, Department of
Film. Grateful thanks for the advice of the current Prix Jean Vigo
Committee and its President, Luce Vigo, and for the generous
collaboration of the Consulate General of France, New York; the Cultural
Services of the French Embassy, New York; and for their invaluable
support of our subtitling efforts, Titra-Film and Alex Kuczynski.
Maine-Océan (Maine-Ocean Express). 1986. France. Directed by Jacques
Rozier. Screenplay by Rozier, Lydia Feld. With Bernard Menez, Luis Rego.
Opening with a race through a train station, Rozier's exuberant comedy
runs at a breakneck pace. A violently expressive sailor, two by-the-book
train conductors, a Brazilian model, and her American impresario fuel an
escalating confusion of languages and social classes that climaxes on an
island off Brittany's coast. 132 min. Thursday, December 28, 6:30 (T1);
Saturday, December 30, 2:00 (T2)
