#MonsieurVerdoux is probably one of the most confusing, self-indulgent, unfunny but well-produced comedies I've ever seen. It doesn't know what it wants to be except a vehicle for getting Chaplin in front of eyeballs. It is not redeemed by the self-righteous "moral" at the end.
So damn weird.

The only somewhat funny part of #MonsieurVerdoux so far has been the Martha Raye rowboat scene, and it was pure vaudeville.
At one point, he declines to poison a woman when she proves herself capable of love.
Is this a commentary on ... something? OK, he's got standards? #MonsieurVerdoux
#MonsieurVerdoux is so damn odd. It's set in 1933 but was made post-WW2, post-Shoah. It is about a banally evil man who, at one point, plans and executes chemical poisoning experiments on drifters. And it shows zero ironic awareness of its subject & placement in time so far. WTF.
Chaplin keeps looking into the camera, breaking the fourth wall as a joke.
Wait, scene moves to Paris and suddenly, a score! #MonsieurVerdoux
There is no score to #MonsieurVerdoux. Another oddity.
Chaplain is overacting as if he's irresistably charming and it comes off strangely creepy.
Odd occasional slapstick that lands flat.
Starting #MonsieurVerdoux a little early. It's weird so far, relying on a weird hybrid of silent film and talkie tropes, as if Chaplain wasn't sure of himself.

I just watched Monsieur Verdoux (Charles Chaplin, 1947) and rated it 7/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsieur_Verdoux?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #MonsieurVerdoux #CharlieChaplin #MarthaRaye #WilliamFrawley #MarilynNash
#lucidellaribalta Dopo il flop commerciale dello splendido ma indubbiamente cinico e tagliente #MonsieurVerdoux #CharlieChaplin decide di tornare a raccontare una storia d’amore. La prima idea che gli approda nella mente è che i protagonisti dovranno essere un clown e una ballerina, e poi lentamente il resto della storia si presenta quasi da solo. Perché il personaggio del clown che prenderà il nome di Calvero, Chaplin lo ispira... http://www.valeriotagliaferri.it/?p=14475 #unofilm #unocinema #film #cinema
Accade che i veri geni creino opere che spesso anticipino drammaticamente i tempi #ilgrandedittatore” per esempio, fu realizzato dal maestro #charliechaplin nel 1940, quando la maggioranza del pianeta vedeva ancora Hitler come un esempio di leader di una nazione da emulare. La stessa cosa vale con questo suo #monsieurverdoux diretto nel 1947 e che, come il suo film precedente, incontrò parecchi problemi di censura. Nell’opinione... http://www.valeriotagliaferri.it/?p=4482 #mastocinema #mastofilm #film #cinema
