In Jean Vigo’s hands, an unassuming tale of conjugal love becomes an achingly romantic reverie of desire and hope. Jean (Jean Dasté), a barge captain, marries Juliette (Dita Parlo), an innocent country girl, and the two climb aboard Jean’s boat, the L’Atalante—otherwise populated by an earthy first mate (Michel Simon) and a multitude of mangy cats—and embark on their new life together. Both a surprisingly erotic idyll and a clear-eyed meditation on love, L’Atalante, Vigo’s only feature-length work, is a film like no other.

Quote:
A propaganda film produced by the French Communist Party (PCF) for the campaign for the May 1936 elections – which brought the Popular Front to power – “La vie est à nous”, by Jean Renoir, was shot by a team of militant filmmakers and technicians.

Quote:
France, on the eve of the legislative elections, between the threat of national and international fascism, the policy of crisis and repression organised for the benefit of the “200 families”, and the hope embodied both by the daily action of the militants of the Communist Party and by the proposals of its leaders.
The economic crisis is underlined from the opening of the film by a sequence opposing the speech of a teacher on the wealth of France, and the social reality experienced by his students.

The film exposes the fascist threat with images of February 6, 1934, the military training of the Crosses of Fire, the threats of war and death embodied by Hitler and Mussolini, and a parade of Colonel de la Rocque’s supporters. It ends with the demonstrations of the Popular Front (images of July 14, 1935) and exposes the policy of the Communist Party presented as a warm and supportive party.

Three fictional sketches, supplemented by a documentary part, illustrate the concrete action of the communist militants:
# A company cell goes on strike against the infernal pace and the dismissal of an old worker
# Communist militants oppose the seizure of a peasant’s property
# A group of young communists (with choir) welcomes and feeds a hungry young unemployed graduate. This last fictional sequence, the longest and most complex, is undoubtedly intended for the “middle classes” and the petty bourgeoisie.

A short reconstructed scene shows a salesman of L’Humanité, attacked by a small group of fascists, supported and defended by the population of a market. The film ends with excerpts of speeches by leaders of the P.C.F. to specific categories of the population (women, youth, peasants, veterans…), and with shots of a crowd singing the International throughout the campaign.

Note: Commissioned for propaganda purposes by the Communist Party in February 1936, in view of the elections that would bring the Popular Front to power, La Vie est à nous is the result of a collective work (filmmakers and politicians) under the direction of Jean Renoir.
It was banned on its release and throughout the period of the Popular Front. The film began to be released commercially in 1969. ” Financed by collections during Party meetings, the film cost around 70,000 F, or a tenth of an average budget at the time. As it was not presented to the censors, it was only shown in communist cells and meetings.”
