Rating: A+ --
Simultaneously ethical and unethical, the snappily dressed Verdoux exists as an extraordinary challenge to capitalism's status quo during its seismic swing toward fascism.

Thoungh misunderstood and a commercial flop in 1947, Chaplin's murderous satire has many merits, including Oscar nomination for Original Script.

Shapes up as Chaplin's most startling, most invigorating movie: its icy temperature is positively bracing after the hot syrup of his earlier work.

Monsieur Verdoux can boast a screenplay with a highly unusual moral complexity and a deeply philosophical bent...Yes, Verdoux is a film that name-drops Schopenhauer, but it's also damn funny... [Blu-ray]

Monsieur Verdoux is an acerbic and intelligent movie that remains unique for the public of our era. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film's cynical vision is as lucid as it is unrelenting.

Rating: 3/4 --
a pitch-black, arguably bitter comedy that wasn't so much a departure for Chaplin (he had, after all, lampooned Hitler in his previous film) as it was an opportunity to fully engage with his darker comedic impulses

Product Description:
Subtitled a "Comedy of Murders," this Charlie Chaplin film is about a middle-aged Bluebeard who murders wives for their money. An off-beat comedy which was ahead of it's time but is now considered as a Chaplin favorite. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Screenplay.
