A period piece in the best sense.
It's well worth a look today as simultaneously vindicating Clair's former high reputation and his subsequent expulsion from most critical pantheons.
A Nous, la Liberté is assuredly different from any other screen feature. It bristles with strange originality.
An engrossing satire on modern society's belief in the new industrialization age, showing the Machine was not mankind's salvation.
Compared to his contemporaries Jean Renoir and Jean Vigo, Clair was a minor talent, though both of these films do contain innovative uses of sound mixed with silent film.
...displays Clair's mastery of artful whimsy by mixing sound (especially song), sweet-faced storytelling, and visual skill.
Audience Reviews for A Nous la Liberté (Liberty for Us)
A great movie with a great message.
Super Reviewer
A very fun little gem. It's very clasically cute, with all its slapstick and its musicalization. The story is a critical comparison of a prison and a factory! Chaplin drew inspiration from it for Modern Times. It isn't a must see but it's one of those movies that can be appreciated for their simplicity, their wit and their charm.
