I have a pair of lengthy reviews in the new Bright Lights Film Journal, one of Charlie Chaplin’s least known silent feature, The Circus, and the second a detailed discussion of Jean Renoir’s masterpiece, The Rules of the Game. BL editor Gary Morris gives an overview of the new issue here. NOTE: not all BL content is “office suitable,” so be sure to tilt your monitor. A list of my previous reviews for Bright Lights is here.
