Boudu, a homeless Parisian man, takes a suicidal plunge into the Seine and is rescued by wealthy bookseller Mr. Lestingois. The latter decides to take Boudu in, not knowing he will shake the Lestingois household to its foundations. However, when Boudu wins the lottery, events take a different turn.
Michel Simon gives one of cinema’s greatest performances in this sly yet rambunctious satire of bourgeois manners and good intentions. Sharply comic but with piercingly acute political undertones that still ring true today, Boudu Saved from Drowning remains one of Jean Renoir’s supreme masterpieces.
