The Ludwig Van Picture Show//Charlie Chaplin’s Burlesque on Carmen

The third video-musical date of the month, on Saturday, November 15 at 17, features Charlie Chaplin’s Burlesque on Carmen (1915), the last movie he worked on for the Essanay production firm. Chaplin never acknowledged this movie as his, since it was distributed after he parted from Essanay, in a quite polemical way. Essanay in fact heavily intervened in the movie editing, with the result of a "patchwork" of styles, with long and dull scenes – clearly not coming from Chaplin’s work. The plot is standard, a seduction tragedy with happy ending.
