Modern Times
Directed by Charles Chaplin

Sunday, November 29, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS

$12 | $8 Speed members | Free for college students with valid I.D.

Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin’s last outing as the Little Tramp, puts the iconic character to work as a giddily inept factory employee who becomes smitten with a gorgeous gamine (Paulette Goddard). With its barrage of unforgettable gags and sly commentary on class struggle during the Great Depression, Modern Times—though made almost a decade into the talkie era and containing moments of sound (even song!)—is a timeless showcase of Chaplin’s untouchable genius as a director of silent comedy. 1936, U.S., DCP, 87 minutes.
