- Synopsis:
'Vigo' follows the passionate relationship between French film-maker Jean Vigo (James Frain) and his beautiful wife Lydu (Romane Bohringer) from their meeting in the 1920s, whilst both incarcerated at a tuberculosis sanatorium in the South of France, and throughout the trials of Vigo's film-making career, which produced such works as 'A propos de Nice', 'Zero de conduite' and 'L'Atalante' - now recognised as classics of World Cinema. Julien Temple directs this modern and personal take on an extraordinary story. 'Vigo' is a tragic but inspiring film celebrating the lives of two young people who managed to live more intensely in the few years they were together than most of us do in an entire lifetime. - Actors:
