About  L'ATALANTE:

Jean, the young captain of the barge, marries Juliette, a village girl who has never left home before. But when Juliette tires of her new life, she slips off the ship to discover the delights of Paris, leaving Jean heartbroken. Considered one of the most beautiful films ever made, L'Atalante became a favorite of the filmmakers of the French New Wave.
