Modern Times
January 4th 2012 21:05
(1936) Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Stanley Sandford, Chester Conklin. Dir: Charlie Chaplin.
Chaplin gets into trouble in an industrialised, highly mechanised world. The tramp’s swansong returns him to his roots, reflecting on contemporary social troubles in a series of connected shorts. Some sequences dazzle, others amuse, but it’s hard not to feel tearful as he walks into the sunset one last time.
