Aprašymas

In The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin: Artistry in Motion, Dan Kamin reveals the inner workings of Chaplin’s mesmerizing art as never before. An internationally acclaimed comic mime artist himself, Kamin provides new insights into how Chaplin achieved his legendary rapport with audiences and demonstrates why comedy created nearly a century ago remains not only fresh but surprisingly relevant today. He then presents provocative new interpretations of each of the comedian’s sound films, showing how Chaplin remained true to his silent comedy roots even as he continued to reinvent his art for changing times. Lavishly illustrated with many never-before-published images, The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin will appeal not just to Chaplin fans but to anyone who loves comedy. The expanded paperback edition features an annotated bibliography and a foreword by Scott Eyman, celebrated author of many books on classic Hollywood figures, including Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille and John Wayne: The Life and Legend.

Dan Kamin trained Robert Downey, Jr. for his Oscar-nominated performance in Chaplin and created Johnny Depp's physical comedy routines in Benny and Joon. He performs his own comedy shows in theatres and with symphony orchestras worldwide.

The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin: Artistry in Motion is a completely
rethought and updated version of Kamin's first book, Charlie Chaplin's One-Man Show.
