Such a rarity...

Such a little curiosity of French cinema, a movie that was very advanced for his time and very irreverent.

Revolting kids that began a revolution against their teachers in a boarding school. It's kind of a surrealistic allegory of the fight against the establishment and the authorities.

It's pretty advisable for those that are interested in the history of cinema and in Vigo's career...
