Featured review
A Great Look Back at a Great Film
I love that Jim Jarmusch is involved in this brief documentary. I never read thought of Jarmusch as being connected to Chaplin, but now I know that the film was an inspiration for "Lost in Translation". That makes me want to watch it again.
The modern footage of New York is cheaply done, and I wish they had just used stock footage... who wants to see a guy in a car shake his camera all over the place?
The centerpiece is an interview with Michael Chaplin (who apparently speaks French). He was the power behind the film, and certainly knew Charlie Chaplin in a way that no one else could. For someone like me, who knows very little about Chaplin's personal life, this was a special treat, looking inside the man himself.
