Watch: Les bas-fonds 1936 123movies, Full Movie Online – The winner of the Louis Delluc Prize as the most outstanding French photo-play of 1936, as selected by the Young Independent Critics of France (an organization and not a description.) The film treats the imprisoning hold of poverty; the disheartening odds of people rising from such social despair, and the ease in which those in the upper spheres of Society may descend..
Plot: Inhabitants of a flophouse struggle to survive under the harsh treatment imposed by the landlord, Kostyleva. One resident, young thief Wasska Pepel, ends his affair with the landlord’s wife, Vassilissa, and takes up with her sister, Natacha. Pepel also befriends the baron, a former nobleman fallen on hard times, but Pepel’s attempts at happiness are complicated when he’s accused of murder by a spiteful Vassilissa.

Reviews:

A grandly theatrical exercise by a great master
Now that Criterion has released not one but two ‘Lower Depth’ features, one by Renoir, the other by Kurosawa, you have a double bill of masterpieces to look forward to. Renoir’s contribution to this menage is a surprisingly buoyant one. Gabin and Jouvet dominate the film with their mano-a-mano discussions on life and freedom. Suzy Prim is properly bitchy as the woman scorned, although Junie Astor as her oppressed sister doesn’t have it in her to elevate the scenes that she’s in. The plot is almost completely different from Gorky’s, yet the playwright read and publicly approved of the project. In Renoir’s world there is always a way out for those who are kind and strive. There are doomed souls too, but their fates are laid out in a gentle, loving manner. This isn’t the best Renoir film, but it reflects his lifelong humanism and warmth (and many depth-of-field shots for those mise-en-scene fanatics). Needless to day, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
