«Modern Times»

About the film: Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin’s last outing as the Little Tramp, puts the iconic character to work as a giddily inept factory employee who becomes smitten with a gorgeous gamine (Paulette Goddard).

With its barrage of unforgettable gags and sly commentary on class struggle during the Great Depression, the silent comedy Modern Times is one of Charlie Chaplin's most enduring classics; a comment on both the struggles to survive in a modern, industrialised world and the financial hardship of the Great Depression.

Ranked joint 78th in the 2022 Sight and Sound Great Films of All Time poll.
