Charles Chaplin's iconic silent film, 'The Gold Rush,' is set to return to cinemas worldwide on June 26th in a newly restored 4K version. This re-release commemorates the centennial of its original premiere, offering audiences a chance to experience this landmark of silent cinema on the big screen.
The film, which premiered at the Cannes Classics section of the Cannes Film Festival, follows the adventures of Chaplin's Tramp character during the Klondike gold rush. He seeks fortune in the snowy mountains of Alaska.
Chaplin masterfully blends comedy, drama, and social commentary in this film, featuring memorable scenes like the 'dinner roll dance' and the 'boiled shoe dinner.' 'The Gold Rush' was added to the U.S. National Film Registry in 1992 for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance, solidifying its place as one of the greatest films ever made.
