fresh:
Charles Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece.

Few cinema artists have delved into their own lives and emotions with such ruthlessness and with such moving results.

Neither comedy nor tragedy altogether, it is a brilliant weaving of comic and tragic strands, eloquent, tearful and beguiling with supreme virtuosity.

Departing from most forms of Hollywood stereotype, the film has a flavor all its own in the sincere quality of the story anent the onetime great vaudemime and his rescue of a femme ballet student.
