Keeping It 'Reel'

Adult Virtual Film Discussion – MODERN TIMES (1963)

Pop some popcorn and join us for a virtual film discussion!

Join us for a discussion on the film MODERN TIMES (1963). "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."
