A brilliant and deeply human satire on the industrialization and dehumanization of work, Modern Times is one of the greatest peaks of Chaplin’s cinema. With physical comedy, tenderness, and a surprisingly timely critical взгляд, the film portrays the struggle of the individual against a mechanized world. Funny and moving in equal measure, it remains a cultural touchstone that resonates in any era. Universal cinema, straight to the heart.
