Description
A darkly comic departure from his iconic Tramp persona, Charlie Chaplin’s MONSIEUR VERDOUX reimagines the true story of France’s “Bluebeard” murders as a biting social satire. Chaplin stars as Henri Verdoux, a charming Parisian who supports his family by marrying and murdering wealthy widows. As the world slides into war and chaos, Verdoux becomes a sophisticated, philosophical antihero—questioning the morality of a world that rewards violence on a grand scale, but condemns his own acts.
Praised for its razor-sharp dialogue and bold subversion of Chaplin’s screen image, MONSIEUR VERDOUX was initially controversial but is now hailed as one of his most daring, provocative films—a chillingly funny reflection on money, morality, and modern life.
