Zero de conduite

This week we watched a french film called "Zero de conduite" (Zero for conduct, 1933). The film was based around the experiences of Jean Virgo, the writer, in a boarding school. The film was created in 1933 and banned in France as it was seen to start influencing rebellion. It was the first film to include slow motion in it as well as being a very influential film to future writers.

However i did not enjoy the film so much as i found it hard to follow. I thought the scenes were too scattered which i wouldnt have minded it they connected better, but they didnt.
