Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Zero For Conduct (1933)

Zéro de conduite: Jeunes diables au collège
France
written and directed by: Jean Vigo
starring: Jean Dasté, Robert le Flon, Du Verron
seen: 14th August, 2015

I am of that opinion that children are the only way to change the world (for better I might add) because it is in their little heads where all the ideologies that can do that are stored. This film pushes this point through, as well as pointing out the fact that the teachers, the beings that put these ideologies in those heads, are as equally important. I'm not sure if it was Jean Vigo's intention but "Zero For Conduct" today mainly works as an initiation experience making you want to rebel and create and not necessarily as a fully-fledged work of film.
