Tendentious Innocence: Chaplin’s Use of Doubling in City Lights and The Idle Class

Arthur Rankin
November 2007
Feature Articles
Insightful reading of Chaplin’s cinema in the light of Freud’s ideas in his Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious.

Established in Melbourne (Australia) in 1999, Senses of Cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet.

Senses of Cinema was founded on stolen lands. We acknowledge the sovereignty of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and support all Aboriginal people on their paths to self-determination.
