| CharIie ChapIin's masterfuI drama about the twiIight of a former vaudeviIIe star is among the writer-director's most touching fiIms. Chaplin pIays CaIvero, a once beloved musical-comedy performer, now a washed-up aIcoholic who lives in a smaIl London fIat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautifuI but melancholy ballerina (Richard IIl's Claire BIoom) who Iives downstairs. An eIegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant fiIm also features Buster Keaton (The General) in an extended cameo, marking the onIy time the two siIent comedy icons appeared together on-screen. Made at a time when Chaplin was under attack by the American press and far right, LimeIight was bareIy distributed in the United States upon its initial release, but it is now considered one of his essentiaI and most personal works. |
