Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Tiny Sandford, Chester Conklin, Hank Mann, Stanley Blystone, and Al Ernest Garcia
Playing a tramp struggling to survive in a modern industrial society, Charlie Chaplin created one of the most elaborate cinematic critiques of the effects of mass production on 20th century life with Modern Times. This digital restoration of the 1936 film entailed treating over 126,000 frames of film, correcting negative scratches and picture deterioration, and restoring its rich black and white cinematography.

Boston Globe Ty Burr
Chaplin's sentimental politics and peerless comic invention dovetailed more perfectly in this film than in any other he made.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
An ungainly masterpiece, but Chaplin's ungainliness is something one can grow fond of.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Dave Kehr
Charlie Chaplin finally got around to acknowledging the 20th century in this 1936 film, which substitutes machine-age gags for the fading Victoriana of his other work. Consequently, it's the coldest of his major features, though no less brilliant for it.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
Remains Chaplin's most sustained burlesque of authority.
