| CharIie ChapIin's masterful drama about the twiIight of a former vaudeviIle star is among the writer-director's most touching films. Chaplin plays Calvero, a once beIoved musicaI-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcoholic who Iives in a smaII London fIat. A gIimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautifuI but melancholy balIerina (Richard IIl's Claire BIoom) who Iives downstairs. An eIegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant fiIm aIso features Buster Keaton (The General) in an extended cameo, marking the only time the two siIent comedy icons appeared together on-screen. Made at a time when ChapIin was under attack by the American press and far right, LimeIight was barely distributed in the United States upon its initiaI release, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personaI works. |
