    Episode 218: Jean Renoir Week 1 (Boudu Saved from Drowning + A Day in the Country)

    On Episode 218 of Floating Through Film, we're starting our next series picked by Dany, Jean Renoir! On this opening week of the series, we start by giving our overall thoughts on the director, before Dany starts the episode with some background on Renoir, including some information on Renoir's philosophical beliefs. We then review the two films starting off our series, 1932's Boudu Saved from Drowning (57:45), followed by Renoir's "unfinished" A Day in the Country (2:07:12) that was officially released in 1946. We hope you enjoy!
