Vigo blends realistic details and surrealist touches in this satiric comedy portraying the oppressive life of a French boarding school and the eventual revolt of the boys. In the students' paradoxical world, magical transformations occur at regular intervals and authority figures are held up to ridicule. The most celebrated sequences are the dormitory pillow fight and the subversive mock Catholic procession. Because of its parody of French educational methods and bourgeois institutions, the film was banned in France for 16 years until 1945. (Does not circulate)
