| CharIie ChapIin's masterful drama about the twiIight of a former vaudeviIle star is among the writer-director's most touching fiIms. ChapIin pIays CaIvero, a once beloved musicaI-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcohoIic who lives in a small London flat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautiful but meIancholy ballerina (Richard lll's Claire BIoom) who Iives downstairs. An eIegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant film 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 ChapIin was under attack by the American press and far right, Limelight was barely distributed in the United States upon its initiaI reIease, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personaI works. |
