Modern Times

Nov 3—Nov 5, 2024
    Part of
  • “Silent” Films
  • and
  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Charles Chaplin (1936)
With Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman

Charlie Chaplin’s final silent film—enlivened by bits of inventive sound design—is an imaginative and hilarious send-up of the modern industrialized world. His classic Little Tramp character is a factory worker tightening bolts on an assembly line, until a mishap with an automatic feeding machine sends him off course. Mixing the joyfulness of Chaplin’s comedy gags with a satire of modern bureaucracy, Modern Times remains the funniest of the comedian’s social critiques.
