Friday Film Matinee - Modern Times

Join us for our monthly Friday matinee film screenings!
Showing today: Modern Times (1936; running time 1 hour and 27 minutes).
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, MODERN TIMES — though made almost a decade into the talkie era and containing moments of sound (even song!) — is a timeless showcase of Chaplin’s untouchable genius as a director of silent comedy.
Come in, take a seat, and enjoy. Popcorn included!
Films provided by the Kanopy collection.
