The Great Dictator

The Cinematheque unpacked a bunch of Charlie Chaplin's old silent movies in April. This month it's showing his sound films, some of the funniest and most biting comedies of the 20th century. On tap this weekend is a new 35mm print of one of his all-time greats, a 1940 satire about an evil dictator who looks and acts an awful lot like Hitler. The Great Dictator is Chaplin's most topical film and also one of his sharpest. See it on the big screen at the Cinematheque. At 7:15 p.m. Saturday, May 14, and 3:45 p.m. Sunday, May 15. — Michael Gallucci
