Review of Monsieur Verdoux (1947) by Millo T — 23 Jun 2012
Between 2.5 and 3. Chaplins shows that he can not only make silent humor (even, he although does not always use in a movie with sound, as he did in The great dictator), but also combine a light dark comedy with deep thinking about ruin, evil, sin, love and hope.
With no great moral lessons in this movie but a complex ambiguity close to cynicism, you strangely like this character, even more when their victims deserve, most of the times, to die. Curious.
