A King in New York
“The King of Comedians!”
ComedyDrama
A recently-deposed "Estrovian" monarch seeks shelter in New York City, where he becomes an accidental television celebrity. Later, he's wrongly accused of being a Communist and gets caught up in subsequent HUAC hearings.
VIBE
A charmingly absurd romp through mid-century New York, this film skewers consumerism and political paranoia with Chaplin's signature wit. It feels like a wry, knowing wink at societal absurdities, wrapped in a classic black and white aesthetic.
