    ONE OF CHAPLIN’S GREATEST FILMS
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020*

This review is for the Criterion Collection 2019 blu Ray release of Charlie Chaplin’s 1928 film, ‘The Circus’ (Also available on DVD).For decades, ‘The Circus’ was dismissed as a lesser Chaplin film, coming as it did between his great epic ‘The Gold Rush’ (1925) and his beloved masterpiece ‘City Lights’ (1931). Contributing to its lesser reputation was the fact that Chaplin withheld the film for forty years, ostensibly because of the myriad personal and professional  problems he endured while making it.In 1968, with twenty-five years of marital happiness behind him, Chaplin revisited the film, creating a new opening credit sequence, composing a new musical score and song (which he sang) and successfully re-releasing it to theaters.The Circus was one of the first films released on home video in 1978 (VHS and Beta). Image Entertainment brought out a special edition 12” Laserdisc in 1993 followed by their  DVD in1998. Warner Home Video put out a new edition in 2003. With each new disc came bonus features, some retained, others discarded and replaced with new ones. Such is the case with the 2019 Criterion blu ray.This one comes with a fantastic 4K restoration. That alone makes this a must have. But the new features are especially fine. Among them: Chaplin biographer Jeffrey Vance gives another outstanding commentary. In one fascinating featurette,  Oscar wining visual effects artist and film historian Craig Barron explains the special effects and introduces the viewer to the Bell and Howell 2709 camera. This was the camera used by Chaplin’s cinematographer Roland (Rollie) H. Totheroh. In another, Eugene Chaplin is interviewed at the family estate in Corsier-sur-Vevey. Also included is a Chaplin interview from 1969.Holdovers include the  ‘Chaplin Today’ documentary from 2003, footage from the 1928 premiere, outtakes from a deleted sequence (presented by film historian David Shepard on the 1998 DVD, presented by comedy choreographer Dan Kamin here) and a completed version of the sequence edited by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill from their fantastic documentary ‘Unknown Chaplin’ (1983). That documentary featured excellent music composed by Carl Davis. That music is not used here but the good news is the new music is provided by the always outstanding Timothy Brock, using themes from Chaplin’s score.With this 4K restoration ‘The Circus’ can now rightly take its place as one of Chaplin’s greatest films.And it comes highly recommended.

This completes my Charlie Chaplin collection!This one features the Tramp character tramping around...you guessed it at a circus. After being mistaken for a pickpocket and trying to evade the cops, the Tramp stumbles into a new career as a circus performer.There is a love triangle between him, a trapeze lady and a handsome tightrope walker. This is all complicated by a ruthless and controlling father.The ending might be my favorite of all of his movies. It simultaneously beautiful, hopeful and sad.This one contains all of the depth and warmth that I've come to expect from his films. I have most enjoyed; the Kid, the Great Dictator, Limelight and of course The Circus! Highly recommend!
