We attended the miracle of a small cinema: This Chaplin film is 100 years old and the unprecedented version of the skin in Cannes in 2025!

Every year, the Cannes Film Festival watches films in the present, which is welcomed, opening the door to the future by showing some talents of tomorrow, and not forget to celebrate the past. Thanks to the transition to the Legend of Art 7 (Robert De Niro, Tom Cruz, Jodie Moster or George Lucas during the recent editions) or his classics, which created a good number of festivals that had been cut off from the classics of all feature films.

Now for several publications, the festival has proposed a preliminary opening with respect for the restoration, within hours of the official start of the event. Its 100 years ago, scheduled for June 26, in the world of about 500 in the world, it is a golden fast that was lucky this year. What, on the paper, seemed a little less than Abel Napoleon, a monument, the assembly of which his director had long remained invisible, where half of the viewers had already seen Charles Chaplin on Tuesday, May 13.

But it was just a claim. Because the film we know was not what was first shown on June 26, 1925, but the version of 1942, which itself was reduced and sounded by its director, who later had the destruction of the original assembly. Born today, thanks to the joint efforts of the Blackhawk Films National BFI Archives, from the Lobster Film Collection, the Bundesarche troupe, Catalunia Filmoteca, George Eastman Museum, and even Moma Museum (Moma), which had elements.

It will last for 95 minutes now, the feature film is more beautiful than it has ever been for more than 80 years. “With this restoration we will see in 4K if you manage to distinguish between fake snow.”At the opening of the projection, one of the offspring of the filmmaker said that Charles Chaplin had to revise his film’s plans for natural decor to leave the studio shots, and some rare external plans (especially the first) were seen in editing.

You need to know this, because the film is exciting, with the quality of the image that especially emphasizes the white makeup as the prospect of the prospect that it depicts, in the midst of the reddened faces of men around it, in this tale, which occurs in 1898, in Clondik, but remains very relevant, because it remains very relevant, because “Talk about greed, the desire for money, so today”Determines the director of Arnold Lozano, Roy Export SAS, Preamula. This emphasizes the universality of the golden rush (and Chaplin’s cinema), which led to laughter.

“It was with this film that Chaplin wanted to remember his remembrance.”

In addition to the efficiency of her Gags or the poetry of the famous bread sequence, one of the most famous of her author’s career, who viewed the movie (Re), is an almost perfect blend between lightness and gravity. The director does not go away from violence or the firmness of the time when he shows the extreme situations that hunger for his characters (spoiler: eating their shoes, but not only), but also raises them through a gift for comedy, often a physical and indispensable sense of age.

“It was with this film that Chaplin wanted to remember his remembrance.”Thierry Frams concluded at the screening of many spectators and the start of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. If we are more often referred to as modernity or dictator, when it comes to his career, one thing is convinced: we remember this session and this feeling of attending a small miracle of the movie theater at the same time as the resurrection of the classics that we never thought.
