Mediocre. Especially very clumsy and also with uninspiring camera work. Also no humor at all. Only Bizet's masterly music saves the film somewhat, but that is no credit to Chaplin. And then I also saw the original shorter version, and even that was barely bearable. 1.5*.

Nice film by Chaplin. I'm a bit surprised at the low score here. Chaplin does not play his typical character here, but plays several roles in this parody of the opera Carmen. That makes the film different from his other films, but still entertaining. 3*

Haven't had many encounters in that sense with the silent film, except for Battleship Potemkin, and unfortunately this was not a success, although I can appreciate The Great Dictator very well, of course these silent films that are now more than 100 years old are something else .

The film continues where the opera Carmen stops and although I am not familiar with the content, the music is very recognizable. It doesn't matter much because most of what is shown in the film is mainly on the bland side, although there is an immediate improvement in the whole when Chaplin himself comes into the picture.

But even Chaplin doesn't pull this all to the right side of the line and I'm glad that this setback is over after 45 minutes.
