The Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra plus Charlie Chaplin equals glorious Live Cinema. Marc Taddei conducts Chaplin’s score for The Kid, arranged by Carl Davis, and Timothy Brock’s new score for the wildly funny The Immigrant.
One of Chaplin’s very best and funniest films, a worldwide smash in 1921 and irresistible to this day.
Screened as part of NZIFF 2015
The Immigrant 1917
The second-to-last short Chaplin made before stepping up to feature-length films, and one of the most gob-smackingly inventive, The Immigrant sees the Tramp valiantly courting Edna Purviance while creating havoc on board a crowded ship from Europe; then on the mean streets of New York.
Screening with The Kid.
