Review of The Kid

The Kid (1921)
9/10
Beautiful

I watched a recently restored version on the Italian national TV streaming app: I had previously watched parts of this movie in unrestored version and I must say the difference makes the movie much more enjoyable (it looks completely different).

On to the movie. It is funny at times, but I was hit by the way it represents poverty and many other sad situations. Most scenes are perfect, and the movie, 100 years after it was shot, is still completely enjoyable nowadays. The only part which I felt was out of place is a long dreaming sequence towards the end of the movie.

It was not bad, but it does not add much to the movie and it was not great either. In any case it is a must watch if you love cinema.
