The Circus

Reel Talk with JBFC Kids Curator Emily Ohara

Recommended age: 7+

This gag-packed 1928 comedy ranks among Charlie Chaplin’s finest, thanks to some of the most audacious moments of his career, including a close brush with a lion and a tightrope walk with a barrelful of monkeys. The Circus, which won Chaplin his first Academy Award, is the perfect introduction to silent films and an uproarious pleasure for the whole family.

Content Advisory: mild violence, man pushes and slaps a woman.
