I so can't wait for this version. I already had the VHS versions of both the first cut and then Chaplin's narration cut, plus the Warner Bros. release but this is the version I'm looking forward to the most! I also just got my Chaplin Criterion poster framing order in today too.
So excited for this! I've watched the Netflix streaming version a few times and I kept thinking/wishing how great it would be if it could get the Criterion treatment... Wish fulfilled!! :)

This is my favorite Chaplin film. I was wondering my Criterion wasn't releasing it after they did Modern Times and The Great Dictator, and then bam! Here it is!

I saw this was coming out, and I am so stoked!! This is one of his best, I personally like City Lights better, but I'm getting this the first day it come out! I have a kino version on laserdisc, that is truly topnotch for the technology. None of Chaplin's narration, which I don't like. I hope this means, City Lights comes next. Way to go Criterion! I own the other two, Modern Times and The GReat Dictator, superb transfers both. Seeing Chaplin in B&W glory in Hi Def WOW

This past Christmas, while I was living in NYC for a brief time, I went and saw this by myself at the Film Forum that night. Manhattan was so dead and so was the theater, just about five or six people were in the theater. It might have been the best Christmas I ever had, so far. Chaplain never disappoints..
“ This Exciting release has been available for six years from Second Run in the UK also available are a couple of other films by this great Czech director most notably Valley of the Bees another medieval . . .”
“Jordan's masterpiece, in my opinion. A film of quiet, almost endless fascination, beautifully realized on every technical level and animated by Hoskins' masterful, multi-layered performance. ”
