Once dubbed “the most famous man in the world,” Charlie Chaplin has long been recognized as one of the preeminent icons of both comedy and cinema.
From 1914 until 1967, Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, and starred in over 80 films, quickly advancing from basic slapstick to a unique comic style - immaculately constructed, deeply human, and always hilarious. In cooperation with MK2 and the Chaplin estate, Janus Films is proud to present a touring retrospective of Chaplin's films from 1918 to 1957, including such masterpieces as The Kid, The Circus, City Lights, and Modern Times, all in new 35mm prints.
