In 1928, as the talkies threw the film industry and film language into turmoil, Chaplin decided that his Tramp character would not be heard. City Lights would not be a talking picture, but it would have a soundtrack. Chaplin personally composed a musical score and sound effects for the picture. With Peter Lord, the famous co-creator of Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, we see how Chaplin became the king of slapstick comedy and the superstar of the movies.
This documentary is featured on the two-disc Chaplin Collection DVD for "The Kid" (1921), released in 2004.
Lannemezan, 6,423 inhabitants, 70 kilometers from Spain. At the foot of the Pyrenees. Lannemezan, with its Péchiney factory, golf course, children's leisure park and prison. Hélène Angel's film portrays the wives, mothers, sisters and girlfriends of prison inmates, who get together for a weekend to visit their long-sentenced husbands. This documentary sheds light on the habits and daily lives of this "special population", who meet regularly in this singular hotel, "l'hôtel de la gare", run by an equally singular owner, Nadine Cistac.
