World Cinema - Triple Bill: A Nous la Liberte

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first of three films directed by Rene Clair
Starring Raymond Cordy, Henri Marchand

Clair brings his comic genius to bear on the machine age in this prophetic satire. A Nous la Liberte, with its frighteningly funny picture of man reduced to the status of an automaton by the products of his own invention, had a major influence on Chaplin's Modern Times. Forty years later it is surprisingly topical and just as relevant.
