A thing that is usually said about neorealist films is that they have influenced and continue to aspire filmmakers all over the world. Argentinian director Fernando Birri chose some of the brightest conventions of this innovative film movement in order to make audiences laugh and grow pensive about the fate of poor people with his masterpiece "Los Inundados".It is an outstanding comedy film with dramatic touches from the father of Latin American cinema.This black and white film truly captures the essence of neo realist cinema as the primary focus is about a poor family forced to make multiple train rides during floods in order to reach safe haven. This is something which is unique as the film's comic touches separate it from other films of neo realist mode. Fernando Birri uses all possible technical means of his time to depict strength of poor people even in the times of adversity.It is amazing how floods have been picturised at a time when there was hardly any possibility of using special effect related technologies.In "The Flooded Ones",there is also a depiction of the fight between good and evil. This is the reason why Birri chose to show corrupt bureaucrats who make people's lives hell. Birri opts for politicians as the idea is to show the influence of politics and corrupt politicians on the lives of ordinary citizens. A great film to watch for someone interested in knowing about films made in Argentina before the boom in the national film industry.
