"Boudu Saved From Drowning" (1932) | Underground Film Night: Obscure Super 8 & 16mm Movies | Berkeley

In Boudu Saved From Drowning” (1932), a tramp, jumps into the Seine. He is rescued by Mr Lestingois, a gentle and good bookseller, who gives shelter to him. Mrs Lestingois and the maid Anne-Marie (Mr Lestingois’ mistress) are far from delighted, for Boudu is lazy, dirty and salacious. 16mm/B&W/Sound/85 min.

Pauline Kael called it, ‘not only a lovely fable about a bourgeois attempt to reform an early hippy…but a photographic record of an earlier France.’

Director: Jean Renoir
Writer: René Fauchois (play)
Stars: Michel Simon, Marcelle Hainia, Sévérine Lerczinska
