Огни рампы. Мир "Огней рампы"

Rate this book
В эту книгу вошла повесть Чарли Чаплина "Огни рампы" с наброском-приложением "История Кальверо", которые легли в основу сценария к фильму "Огни рампы" 1952 года. Дэвид Робинсон рассказывает о том, как Чаплин работал над созданием фильма, называя его "уникальным проектом Чаплина, сотканного из воспоминаний длинной в жизнь". Вторая часть книги "Мир "Огней рампы" - результат кропотливой работы Робинсона с архивами, благодаря которой ему удалось невероятно точно и живо описать Лондон начала ХХ века - с его цирком, балетом, мюзик-холлом - и, конечно, рассказать о самом Чаплине, пока что еще начинающем актере. Увлекательный рассказ о судьбе иконы кинематографа дополнен гравюрами, рисунками, афишами и уникальными фотографиями со съемок.

For me, Limelight is the best film in Charlie Chaplin's talking pictures. The book contains the film's pre-production and shooting process, the effects of the film after the screening, and the sources of inspiration from Chaplin's own life. In the book, you can also find the text of Limelight that looks like a long story rather than a screenplay. The most exciting part of the film is that it brings together two legends: Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The book describes how two legends come together.
