How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent-era masterpiece where slapstick physical comedy and genuine emotional pathos intertwine as a lonely prospector battles arctic harshness and unrequited affection. Chaplin transforms the brutality of survival into moments of absurd tenderness and dark humor.
