Une faim de loup

René is hungry and has no money. He returns home, where only bills await him. Her neighbor Lulu is a film actress. She tries to get him hired as an extra on the set where she herself works. It is a film about gastronomy. He thinks he can finally get his fill of food, but bad luck, he plays the role of an old man who pushes her away. At the end of the day, he returns home and, passing in front of his landlady who receives, goes to mime them all that is supposed to have taken place during the filming by eating all the food offered to his appetite. After this meal, he will invite his neighbor Lulu to come to his place.

Directed by Germain Fried, Une faim de loup leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Brasseur, Philippe Janvier, Pierrette Legros — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1932.
