Modern Times

“I would start with Modern Times which is one of the first films that I loved a lot and I could watch for very many times because it speaks to me on a lot of levels... I still like to watch this from time to time with my children, especially that moment when they bring this machine which is supposed to feed people while working. I find that to be a great moment especially because every five Seconds there is that thing that has to clear his mouth which I like a lot.”

“I’m going to start with Modern Times. When I was three years old – I’m an only child – and my parents, they put me in the living room with a VCR and a Modern Times Betamax tape, they taught me how to press play and rewind, and I basically brainwashed myself. And I think it was really the start of my love for Charlie Chaplin, and also, I think, my obsession with the relationship between mankind and human and technology and alienation and society and how modernity is really interacting with us.”
