Review of The Rink (1916) by Kevin N — 06 May 2009
A joyfully nihilistic short with premonitions of 'Modern Times' throughout. It's fun to see Chaplin muck up so many situations in so many places, and here he goes from making a mess as a witer in a fancy restaurant to knocking everyone flat in a roller-rink.
Full of plenty of physical humor but lacks pathos. Still, what the tramp can do on roller skates is amazing.
