Our take

One of Chaplin’s lesser-known works, A Woman of Paris marks his venture into more “serious” filmmaking. (Chaplin would also later score the film in 1976.) A romantic drama where he only appears for a few seconds, this piercing study of social behavior certified his unique directorial talent.
