Flooded Out (Spanish: Los inundados, lit. The Flooded Ones) is a 1961 Argentine comedy film directed by Fernando Birri.

In a survey of the 100 greatest films of Argentine cinema carried out by the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken in 2000, the film reached the 13th position.[1] In a new version of the survey organized in 2022 by the specialized magazines La vida útil, Taipei and La tierra quema, presented at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the film reached the 33rd position.[2]

Censorship

Because Los Inundados depicted the hardships of poor residents living in areas that are subject to floods, the film was banned in Argentina for being contrary to the national image the federal government wished to promote.[3] The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival in 1962 where it shared the Prima Opera Award with David and Lisa.
