布杜溺水記 Boudu sauvé des eaux

Jean Renoir 尚．雷諾瓦 | B&W | DCP | 1932 | 法語 French | 89 mins

流浪漢布杜投入塞納河中自殺，卻被富裕的書商救起，善意的書商決定收留這位無家可歸的流浪漢。布杜活了下來，住進富裕的一家，改頭換面穿起了西裝。但他並未對此感恩，反倒變本加厲以「寄生蟲」的姿態惹得這家人不得安寧。還有，原先與書商有一腿的女傭，竟然反而被這位男人給吸引。

本片是導演早期創作生涯中幽默的喜劇作品。自以為擁有財富就能善良的資產階級，對比無所謂失去而恣意妄為的無產階級，將這二人湊合在這場鬧劇般的意外後，沒有真正善良的好人，更沒有惡劣到該消失的壞人。無需刻意分化，即能從中窺見制度表面性的瓦解，諷刺著虛榮掉入水中，瞬即淹沒。然而，回歸到布杜先生最初跳河的原因，這一個流浪漢、一個沒錢的窮人、一個跳入水裡就消失的人，又如何足以影響這一切？

A Parisian bookseller, Edouard Lestingois, rescues Boudu, a tramp, after he attempts suicide in the River Seine. Edouard kindly takes Boudu into his home, tutoring him in the manners of a bourgeois lifestyle. However, instead of expressing gratitude toward Edouard, Boudu disruptively challenges their attempts to improve him, seducing the maid and eventually raping Edouard’s wife.

One of Renoir’s earliest sound films, Boudu is a seemingly light-hearted and yet deeply ironic comedy. Based on a popular stage play, written by René Fauchois, Renoir explores class division through a blend of social commentary and witty humor. The central performance by Michel Simon as the free-spirited tramp, Boudu, encapsulates the worst tendencies of human nature, coupled with a free spirit that symbolizes the unbridled inner child resisting moral hypocrisy and cultural snobbery.
