Modern Times

The Industrial Revolution through cinema, a belated welcome to the 20th century with unimaginable kinesiology that unites man and machine in a common rhythm, in the interest of our productivity, political analysis and entertainment.

Synopsis

Subjected to the infernal production rate of the factory, a model worker suddenly has a nervous breakdown and goes mad. From hospital, to prison, to unemployment, the Little Tramp gets caught up in the sprockets and cogs of modern industrialization. That is, until he comes across a beautiful orphaned gamine, whom he helps escape from the police. How to break free from the constraints of modern life? Chaplin provides a critical look at productivity in the early 20th century… and well beyond!
