Boudu Saved from Drowning
Michel Simon makes one of the most iconic performances in film history as Boudu, a Parisian vagrant who commits suicide by jumping into the Seine and is saved by a wealthy bookstore, Edouard Lestingois. The Lestingois family chooses to take in the uncontrollable bum, and he expresses his appreciation by shaking the house to its foundations. With Boudu Saved from Drowning, famed filmmaker Jean Renoir utilizes a variety of Parisian settings and the anarchic charisma of his lead actor to create a vivacious satire of the bourgeoisie.
