The Kid

1921, Movie, 1h 8min

Charlie Chaplin was already an international star when he decided to break out of the short-film format and make his first full-length feature. THE KID doesn't merely show Chaplin at a turning point, when he proved that he was a serious film director, it remains an expressive masterwork of silent cinema. In it, he stars as his lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (a remarkable young Jackie Coogan) he has rescued from the streets. Chaplin and Coogan make a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a film that is, as its opening title card states, "a picture with a smile, and perhaps, a tear"

Chaplin is, of course, hilarious, but it's Coogan's cherubic charm that makes this so special.

I rollen som den 5-årige skarnsknægt stjæler Coogan hver en scene, hvad enten han laver pandekager eller charmerer politibetjente med et uskyldigt smil.

En vacker film som man häpnas över att vara över 100 år. Den blandar komik och drama på ett balanserat sätt och Chaplins effektiva story telling är makalös.

Om detta är en film man inte har sett är det absolut värd att se. Det är Charlie Chaplins första långfilm och så mycket av den komedi vi ser idag börjar här. Det som först tycks vara en så enkel liten film har mycket att erbjuda...
