Carmen
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

This 1916 comedy, the first long film directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, is a slapstick parody of a now-forgotten Cecil B. De Mille feature of the same title that came out the previous year. As might be expected, it's rudely irreverent and very funny. 67 min.
