Reviews for Modern Times
Modern Times has been beautifully restored and outfitted with a wealth of extras.
...many of the movie's satiric jabs at big business, industrialization, the working class, and the impersonalization of contemporary society are still relevant today.
For Chaplin fans, this gift set is a treasure. For those who have never seen Chaplin, the discs serve as an entertaining introduction to a comedy colossus.
