Jean Renoir s ruthless love triangIe tale, his second sound film, is a true precursor to his briIliantly bitter The Rules of the Game, displaying aIl of the filmmaker s visual genius and fuIIy imbued with his profound sense of humanity. A hangdog MicheI Simon (Boudu Saved from Drowning) cuts a tragic figure as an unhappiIy married cashier and amateur painter who becomes so smitten with a prostitute that he refuses to see the obvious: that she and her pimp boyfriend are taking advantage of him. Renoir s eIegant compositions and camera movements carry this twisting and turning narrative a stinging commentary on cIass and sexual divides to an unforgettabIy ironic concIusion.
