Aro Recommended A Nous la Liberte

 

France 1931, 83 minutes, B & W
Dir. Rene Clair
In French with English subtitles
Genres: Classics, Comedy

Topics: Business & Economics.

 

Aroview: Pre-dating - and disputedly influencing - Chaplin’s MODERN TIMES by some years, this is both more lyrical and whimsical in its satire of the automated age.

Set in a gramophone factory where two former-prison pals reunite after many years, one is now a rich industrialist, the other a layabout idealist.
