Stadens ljus

City Lights

Blandningen mellan underliggande allvar, skämt och gripande medmänsklighet gör Stadens Ljus till en riktigt bra film som definitivt förtjänar sin klassikerstatus.

Both funny and touching, this showcases Chaplin at his best.

The movie contains some of Chaplin's great comic sequences...

The final moments of City Lights are a beautiful impossibility. Impossible not simply in how the scene works, but that it works at all

...for its mix of physical humor and tender, heartbreaking poignancy, City Lights can't be beaten. It's an altogether wonderful gem, and one of the five best films the silent era has to offer.
