Review by rc (posted on 15-Sep-2007)

The Circus is an amazing movie to watch and as is the case with all the Chaplin films, there's so much going on that a second or third viewing reveals more genius in his approach. The movie is fun and touching, and seems to show a reverence for the human emotions. Pantomime is showcased-witness the face-washing scene where Charlie is supposed to be drying his face with a towel. There are chases and tightrope walking scenes, and much fun with the animals-missing the famous elephant and any rabbit, although City Light stars a single elephant in cameo. The new musical score is awesome, especially the music accompanying the wedding scene. The movie is worth seeing! RC
