A photo of A woman of Paris

A woman of Paris

Remarkable for its psychological nuance and its boldly modern perspective on an independent woman's search for fulfillment, Charlie Chaplin's long-overlooked silent masterpiece A Woman of Paris is a revelation. Chaplin confounded 1923 audiences with this unexpected foray into serious drama, and by ceding the spotlight to his longtime screen partner Edna Purviance. She is captivating as the vivacious Marie St. Clair, a 'woman of fate' who leaves behind her small-minded village for the glamour of Paris, where she finds herself at the center of a Jazz Age whirl of champagne soirees, luxurious pleasure-seeking, romance, and tragedy. Putting aside his Little Tramp persona, Chaplin's second feature proved that, beyond being a comic genius, he was an artist of immense sensitivity and human understanding.

Choose me

[Blu-ray] An achingly romantic neon dream, Alan Rudolph's comic and cutting exploration of the mysteries of human desire established him as one of the most boldly idiosyncratic independent auteurs of the 1980s. At the smoky dive Eve's Lounge, a collection of strangers including an insecure radio sexpert, a commitment-phobic former sex worker, and a globe-trotting mystery man become entangled in a web of passion, jealousy, and self-discovery. Grooving to the rhythms of Teddy Pendergrass's sexy slow jams, Choose Me exists on its own offbeat wavelength knotty, surprising, and deeply tender in its vision of lost souls wounded by love yet still reaching out for human connection.
