Review of À Nous la Liberté (1931) by Gary L — 19 Feb 2012
Finished this film this evening. A lot has been said about the similarity between this and City Lights. This one is much more life-affirming. And, if you've seen "The Artist" recently, that would have been good for preparing your attention span for this movie. The montage where the prisoner goes from escape, to selling records on the street, to selling records in a small, then large store, to making phonograph machines in a large factory, to owning many factories is a good example of what an effective, economical montage looks like.
It's no wonder this 80 year old film is a classic.
