Just saw Jean Vigo's L'Atalante. Lovely little film. It's funny how this film gets off as being one of the greatest films of all time, seeing as how it's definitely not aiming for any such accolade. Jules is an incredible character. What a dynamic physical presence he is in this movie. The jar of hands in the closet, his weird smirks, his sexuality worn on his sleeve, his accordion, and his superstitions. He makes the movie for me.
