SUNRISE CINEMA 4/19 - Sunrise Cinema welcomes the immortal Charlie Chaplin to its screen for the very first time!
In his controversial masterpiece, Chaplin offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf Hitler and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona. In his first pure talkie, Chaplin brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish “Tomainian” dictator and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. Featuring Jack Oakie and Paulette Goddard in stellar supporting turns, THE GREAT DICTATOR, boldly going after the fascist leader before the U.S.’s official entry into World War II, is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned speech.
