THE GOLD RUSH

Special Features: 100th Anniversary | New 4K Restoration | Silent with recorded soundtrack of Charlie Chaplin’s original score reconstructed and conducted by Timothy Brock

The Little Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) tries his luck as a prospector in wintry Alaska, striking a rich vein of comedic gold (if little of the real stuff) in this dazzling silent classic. Writing for The New Yorker, Richard Brody praised Chaplin: “Whether staving off hunger by cooking his boot or doing a dainty dance with a pair of dinner rolls, Chaplin confronts the moral implications of every delicious, meticulously realized gag. As the poor man of refinement, the overlooked wanderer despairing of romance, the survivalist imp of defiant pride, Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world’s despised and downtrodden, and also their hope.” DIR/SCR/PROD Charles Chaplin. U.S., 1925, b&w, 90 min. NOT RATED
