Resumen de Vigo en las ciudades: la construcción de un punto de vista moral
À propos de Nice is Vigo’s personal journey inside himself. The filmmaker places the film at the service of his own thoughts, i.e., not just his ideas, but also his emotions, which are then presented in visual form.
Thus, Vigo constructs an emotional perspective that allows him to discover an underlying presence of death. Jean Vigo’s aesthetics are based on an emotional impulse that inscribes death withinthe visual register. À propos de Nice can thus be considered equivalent to a painting of the genre Vanitas that proliferated especially in seventeenth century Dutch Art, and sought to abstract allegorize the vanity of human life.
