“Okay, The Kid. Charlie Chaplin. You fall in love with this little boy, and he gives such a beautiful Performance, obviously without speaking. And the chemistry that they have together is amazing, really. And I think, if I remember correctly... Yeah, Jackie Coogan. A little bit sad, but that’s why the Coogan Account was created... I mean, it’s due in part to his story, so.”

Anna Karina
