La Gran Diva Mexicana

La Gran Diva Mexicana

Cultura

Directed by Jean Renoir in 1931.

Maurice Legrand, an apathetic cashier and amateur painter, with a monotonous life and a woman (Adéle) who only spoke to him to insult him and criticize his paintings while praising her first husband (Sergeant Alexis Goddard) who died in the First World War.
Returning from a meal with other painters, Legrand sees a couple arguing. The woman (Lulú) is being beaten by her drunken boyfriend (Dedé). Legrand goes to her defense and falls in love with her. A little time later, Lulú is Legrand´s mistress, job which included an apartment (paid for with petty thefts from her job). This is where Legrand hangs his paintings, which he curiously doesn't sign. Lulú, who is actually a prostitute, continues to support her pimp, Dedé, he unable to get enough money from her, takes the paintings, offers them to a gallery owner, and invents a fictitious painter, the American Clara Wood. Soon, Legrand finds his paintings on display in a gallery, at quite high prices. However, such was his level of submission to Lulú that he doesn't ask for further explanations.
At this point we have the plot twist, Legrand meets a tramp who turns out to be his wife's dead husband, who is not a resurrected Lazarus, but a scoundrel who escaped from the war under a false name, was imprisoned and now dedicates himself to vagrancy...
