5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Clair, 26 Jul 2003
By mn (UK) - See all my reviews
This classic Rene Clair masterpiece is beautifully packaged using original poster artwork. It looks great. The content, considering it's age (1930's) is superb, an added joy is a short film from 1924 Entr'acte which is amazing. The film follows the fortunes of two convicts who take different paths in life but end up as worker and boss in a factory that resembles their incarceration so they run off to live as tramps.Nice booklet inside, excellent photo gallery and a biographies. Value for money. Wonderful

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but highly influential, 25 Nov 2005
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Two convicts plot escape while they labour like Trojans in the prison workshop, mechanistically assembling wooden horses. Only one will manage to scale the walls, but he will go on to found a commercial empire, establishing himself as a major gramophone manufacturer. Years later, the second convict again crosses his path - he does so after having been coerced into becoming an employee, labouring in the factory, slavishly following the pace of the conveyor belt as he makes his small contribution to the assembly of gramophones. But he's not the only one to uncover the industrialist's past.

Rene Clair uses music, satire, and slapstick comedy to hammer home his commentary on the dehumanising effects of industrialisation. Released in 1931, it pays lavish tribute to Chaplin, Keaton, the Keystone Cops, and the comedy of the recently passed silent era. A big hit in its day, Clair's film would prove inspirational - Chaplin's 1936 "Modern Times" is based upon it.

The DVD provides an excellent black and white transfer and good sound quality - if a little quiet in places. Though dated in its style and simplistic in its political analysis, this remains a significant classic of European cinema which continues to entertain and amuse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Work is not Freedom, 2 Feb 2009
By Graeme Ward - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a great comedy film. If you like Modern Times you will enjoy this. Extras are good as well, early short film and interview with the directors wife. Merci
