The Gold Rush
by Charlie Chaplin
A film-concert at the Auditorium of Lyon
Wednesday, October 17th at 8pm
Accompanied by the National Orchestra of Lyon
conducted by Frank Strobel
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2018
The Lumière festival invites two great figures of burlesque, Chaplin and Keaton, for exceptional moments accompanied by live music. After announcing the opening ceremony, The Kid film-concert at the Halle Tony Garnier and the screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey in a new 70mm print, we present the fourth gala evening of Lumière 2018, to be hosted by Thierry Frémaux.
On the program, a tribute to film restorers and film libraries, followed by a grand film-concert, The Gold Rush by Charlie Chaplin, restored by Immagine Ritrovata, accompanied by the National Orchestra of Lyon in the one of the most beautiful venues in France, the Auditorium de Lyon
Rolling out his full arsenal of comedic devices, Chaplin creates one of his most accomplished works with The Gold Rush. Who doesn’t immediately think of the famous, delightful Dance of the Rolls, or the scene where a famished Charlie is forced to eat his shoe?
A huge international success upon its release in 1925, The Gold Rush has not aged a bit, thanks to the remarkable work of Immagine Ritrovata, the restoration lab of the Cineteca di Bologna (the international standard in heritage film restoration). Chaplin’s humor and melancholy will be enhanced by one of the most prestigious orchestras in France, the National Orchestra of Lyon, directed by Frank Strobel, in the perfect setting, the beautiful Auditorium of Lyon.
