Modern Times
My First Film Fest 2016
November 3 - 8, 2016

One of Chaplin’s greatest films, Modern Times bridges the artist’s natural gift for pantomime and his musicality and rhythm, a nearly silent film that emerged full force in the sound era. Chaplin plays a factory worker struggling to stay afloat in a world ruled by industry and automation, bouncing in and out of jail in between run-ins with an orphan gamine, lovingly played by his future wife Paulette Goddard.
