A Nous La Liberte (Freedom for Us)

This film is not currently available on DVD.

Film Description

One of the greatest of all film comedies makes its DVD debut, and comes up as fresh as paint. Rene Clair's sardonic vision of the dehumanising effect of industry is as pertinent today as ever, and this print looks amazing, given the film's vintage. DVD also includes Clair's first film, the wholly irreverent Entr'acte.

Satire on capitalism and mass production that was a forerunner to Chaplin's Modern Times. Of two escaped convicts, one becomes a factory boss, the other a bum. One of the first French talkies, this is an early masterpiece, wonderfully staged and shot.
