Friday Film Matinee: MODERN TIMES • Screening on 35mm

Friday Film Matinee • Co-presented with ScreenBoston.com

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. – Janus Films

1936 • Dir Charlie Chaplin w/Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard • 87 min • 35mm

The Friday Film Matinee is an ongoing program at The Brattle featuring special screenings of 35mm prints on Friday afternoons. We know that seeing a film on 35mm is worth skipping class or leaving work early for so come play hooky with us as we celebrate the magic of ‘reel film’ at The Brattle!

This program is funded in part by The Brattle’s 35mm Film Fund. Donations to this fund maintain our film projection equipment, train future projectionists, and ensure that The Brattle will be able to continue 35mm screenings well into the future. Learn more: https://brattlefilm.org/35mm-film-fund/
