Limelight - Cinema

15 december 2015 
admission free

(USA 1952) directed by Charles Chaplin, starring Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Buster Keaton, b/w, 137’, 35mm Italian dubbed version

London, the early years of the 20th century: an old clown saves a dancer from a suicide attempt. He restores her faith in life and art, shaping her into a star. This is Chaplin's swan song (though not his final film) and also his last American film before the exile. Limelight moved audiences across the world and to this day it remains an extraordinary parable of altruism, bravery and faith in humanity. The last shot is unforgettable: for the first and only time, Chaplin shares the scene with Buster Keaton.
