Chaplin subverts his public image in this twisted movie about the banality of evil.

Chaplin may have been a comedic genius, but few directors were so good at making us cry.

If anything, the film is a showcase for the range of his directorial talent.

The plot’s turn towards melodrama never feels treacly, andthe tragic endinghits like a thunderbolt.
