How does A propos de Nice reflect the social, political and historical context of its time?
A propos de Nice reflects social political and historical context of its time through showing the immorality of the upper class in Nice. The match dissolve used when showing the woman's different clothes is used to show the audience all the different and unnecessary outfits which upper class women own. The use of her naked after the final match dissolve reflects the useless nature of each outfit. Here, Vigo is trying to express that lack of care the capitalist upper class have for others. Vigo expresses this opinion throughout the film as he was part of socialist revolutionary movements and despised the capitalists and the right wing as his Father was killed by right wing extremists during the Spanish civil war. At the time socialist ideology was spreading rapidly and A Propos de Nice was a method of propaganda which Vigo was using to promote his agenda. This can further be seen through the recurring motif of transitions between the calm life of the rich and the hard life of the poor in Nice.
Another example of this is the low angle shot used of the factories. This creates an atmosphere fear and suggests the capitalist government is run based around intimidation. It also shows the damage that capitalism causes to the scenery in Nice which is a problem ignored by the upper class while they relax at the beach. Vigo is creating a sense of naivety around the upper class and condemning them for destroying a place full of picturesque scenery.
A Propos de Nice reflects the social, political and historical context of the time through Vigo's socialist point of view insulting the current society and expressing his revolutionist ideology against capitalism.
