Boudu Saved from Drowning

Movie
1932
1h 24m
French
Comedy
Michel Simon gives one of the most memorable performances in screen history as Boudu, a Parisian tramp who takes a suicidal plunge into the Seine and is rescued by a well-to-do bookseller, Edouard Lestingois. The Lestingois family decides to take in the irrepressible bum, and he shows his gratitude by shaking the household to its foundations. With Boudu Saved from Drowning, legendary director Jean Renoir takes advantage of a host of Parisian locations and the anarchic charms of his lead actor to create an effervescent satire of the bourgeoisie.

Truly terrible, and not for me. Satires of the bourgeoisie from the era almost never connect with me, and this no exception. Add to the mix a super grating performance from Michel Simon, and I couldn't wait for this to be over. Biggest struggle of the "1001 Movies" challenge for me so far.

Far from Renoir’s best. Mildly entertaining but not much more. Characters and some of the lines are amusing. But was a little bored in the last 20 minutes or so. 6/10
