Very good French documentary on Charles Chaplin's career, exploring, besides his brilliance and historical innovations in cinema, and the specific elements of each stage - Keystone, Essanay, Mutual - other important traits of theatrical apopular arts: Victorian music halls, vaudeville entertainment, slapstick comedy in cheap and dirty movie theaters for working class, the recent restoration of Chaplin's first short films... a must-see for every fan o Chaplin and anyone who is interested in history of cinema.
