From 1914 until 1967, Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, and starred in over 80 films, quickly advancing from basic slapstick to a unique comic style—immac- ulately constructed, deeply human, and always hilarious. In cooperation with MK2 and the Chaplin estate, Janus Films presents this touring retrospective of Chaplin’s films from 1918 to 1957, including such family-friendly masterpieces as THE KID, THE CIRCUS, CITY LIGHTS, and MODERN TIMES, all in new 35mm prints.
