A Vision Major retrospective exhibition of the King of Comedy will be displayed in Shanghai When & Where June 8 – October 7, 2018 Yuz Museum Shanghai │余德耀美术馆 35 Fenggu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai 上海徐汇区丰谷路 35 号 Info www.elysee.ch www.yuzmshanghai.org Charlie Chaplin is the founder of modern comedy, one of the most influential performing artists and film directors of the 20th century. His comical image with bowler hat, bamboo cane and small moustache is well known and deeply rooted worldwide. The recipient of a Special Oscar in 1928 for The Circus and an Academy Honorary Award in 1972, Chaplin made an immeasurable contribution to the development of film in the 20th century. He himself was a famous pacifist and social activist. Charlie Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life on the sunny plateau above Vevey, Switzerland. After being denied reentry to the USA, he decided to settle there, along with his wife and children, four of whom ModernModern TimesTimes (United(United Artists),Artists), 19341934--19351935 ©© RoyRoy ExportExport SASSAS // courtesycourtesy MuséeMusée dede l’Elysée,l’Elysée, were born in Switzerland. “A friend suggested Lausanne, scan courtesy Cineteca di Bologna Lausanne, scan courtesy Cineteca di Bologna Switzerland,” he wrote in his 1964 memoir “My Autobiography”. Chaplin’s last home, the 37-acre estate, Manoir de Ban, in the small Swiss Riviera town of Corsier-sur-Vevey, where he lived from 1953 until his death in 1977, has been restored and refashioned into a museum, Chaplin’s World, which includes an immersive cinema museum devoted to his professional achievements. Presented in chronological order, Charlie Chaplin. A Vision aims at helping us better understand the modernity of Charles Chaplin and of his timeless character by shedding a new light on their deep humanism. Who was Charles Chaplin? What had he seen of this world and how did it influence his art? What was he trying to transmit to us? How did the world and especially the artists of his time perceive the man and the tramp? How is he perceived by modern artists? The exhibition explores the reasons for his success, those that brought about and nourished his critical fortunes, and measures the role that the photographic image played in the prosperity of the legend.

With no official documentation they find themselves unable to cover the medical fees and Dorj must pawn their wedding belongings before signing up to a local karaoke contest. A heart-warming and feel-good road movie about the clash between nature and the urban world, Out of Paradise is as much a love story as a reflection on our modern ways of living.

  • The Freak': a Chaplin Classic That Never Was
    'The Freak': a Chaplin classic that never was Published: 13 Dec 2015 A large crate tucked away in a musky storage room reveals a treasure: a pair of meticulously crafted wings covered with swan feathers made for a final film Charlie Chaplin never completed. The seminal filmmaker had the surprisingly heavy contraptions made for his daughter Victoria, whom he envisioned in the role of "The Freak" -- a winged girl who brings hope to humanity, but also exposes its deepest flaws. English comic actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin's 69-year-old son Michael (L) with the Swiss author Pierre Smolik (R) in Corsier-sur-Vevey, western Switzerland. Photo: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP "It seemed to me to be a very beautiful fairytale. Something that maybe only a man of his age can imagine, can dream. A very charming dream," Chaplin's now 69-year-old son Michael told AFP, his dark eyes sparkling as he recalls reading his father's script back in the 1970s. Comic genius Charlie Chaplin, whose iconic films like "The Kid", "Modern Times", "The Great Dictator" and "City Lights" are admired and loved the world over, was planning something very different for what he intended to be his last picture. A book published this week in Switzerland, where Chaplin spent the last 24 years of his life, for the first time gives a full account of the unfulfilled project. Author Pierre Smolik says he was able to consult archives containing hundreds of pages of Chaplin's notes detailing the evolution of the project, two scripts, dialogues and a synopsis, as well as pictures that together give a picture of what his final film may have looked like if he had finished it.

    28 24 heures | Samedi-dimanche 16-17 avril 2016 Intérieur extérieur Odile Meylan La vie au Manoir entre rires, fêtes et stricte discipline Chaplin travaillait de façon acharnée dans son havre de paix de Corsier, où il s’était établi en 1953 Stéphanie Arboit ur une photo de famille en noir et blanc, Charlie Chaplin s’incarne en dieu Pan: torse nu dans son jardin à Corsier, il dresse sur sa tête ses index en guise de cornes satani- Sques et affiche une mimique sardonique. Sur une autre, il emprunte le visage d’un psychopathe tentant d’étrangler sa fille Gé- raldine, impassible. Ou il s’improvise to- réador, manteau en guise de cape. Jus- qu’au bout, le grand acteur aura usé de son talent de pantomime. A l’image de cette scène de 1974, relatée dans ses Mémoires par l’écrivain Georges Simenon, qui dînait au Manoir de Ban avec le cinéaste Jean Renoir: «Chaplin nous mime, nous joue littéralement le film dont il a commencé le scénario et qu’il «vit» devant nous.» La vie au Manoir, où Chaplin vécut ses vingt-cinq dernières années, était-elle une fête sans cesse renouvelée, une inter- minable suite d’éclats de rire? Pas tout à fait. Dans ce havre de paix – acheté 400 000 fr. de l’époque en janvier 1953 –, le roi des comiques aimait susciter l’hila- rité. Mais le travail passait avant tout. «Il était workaholic», concède Charles Sisto- varis, fils de Joséphine (3e enfant de Cha- plin et Oona). Si bien que les journées étaient réglées comme du papier à musi- que: «A 9 h, il lisait les journaux et déjeu- nait avec Oona, détaille Yves Durand, promoteur du musée Chaplin.
