A Woman of Paris

One of the rare dramatic creations of Charlie Chaplin's silent period, about a woman who is torn for love during the '20s in Paris. The film provoked debate in its time, with the audience rejecting a Chaplin film in which he was not the protagonist but was reassessed over the decades.

Synopsis

A year goes by and he is getting off... in the arms of a rich and corrupt playboy. It's just the beginning of the tragedy to come. Extremely controversial in its time, Chaplin's dramatic turn has influenced creators such as Ljubic and Scorsese and has been re-evaluated over the decades.
