Review of Monsieur Verdoux (1947) by Benjamin W — 12 Jun 2013
Amusing? Yes. Comedy? Perhaps not . . . or if it is, one of the darkest I've ever seen. Granted, this film still lives up to the prestige attached to the Chaplin name, but when you examine its place in the timeline of his movies, you start to see that from "Modern Times" onward, he became much more outspoken about society .
. . and much more cynical about it.
