The Great Dictator (Blu-Ray, The Criterion Collection)

The Great Dictator AKA Diktaattori

Ohjaus: Charles Chaplin
Näyttelijät: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie, Reginald Gardiner
Valmistunut: 1940

In his controversial masterpiece The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf Hitler and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona. Chaplin, in his first pure talkie, brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish “Tomainian” dictator and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. Featuring Jack Oakie and Paulette Goddard in stellar supporting turns, The Great Dictator, boldly going after the fascist leader before the U.S.’s official entry into World War II, is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned speech.
