Boudu Saved from Drowning
As Boudu, a Parisian vagabond who commits suicide by jumping into the Seine, Michel Simon delivers one of the most unforgettable performances in film history. Boudu is saved by wealthy bookstore Edouard Lestingois. The unstoppable bum accepts the Lestingois family's offer of shelter, and in return he rocks the house to its very core. With Boudu Saved from Drowning, renowned filmmaker Jean Renoir uses a variety of Parisian settings along with his star actor's anarchic charms to produce a vivacious satire of the wealthy.
