...more than 1 million people who lined Cologne's thoroughfares for the 151st annual carnival parade on the Monday before Lent. Parading or gawking, nearly everyone was in costume, and sidewalks were thronged with people dressed up as pirates, ducks and even gasoline pumps. One woman wore a full-length black body stocking-with two holes snipped out to expose her nipples. Several frowning, grumpy men sported greasepaint mustaches and sheets over their heads: die Araber seemed to symbolize the Rhinelanders' anxiety about the energy shortage's impact on the economic future of their country...
...with passion, adventure, crime and comedy--all in a comfortable domestic setting designed to lend an air of familiarity to the bizarre events. The central character is so colorful that he almost hurts your eyes, and the violent reactions he provokes could furnish enough melodrama for at least three full-length plays...
...three greatest silent films. It is actually a sound movie, but Chaplin himself never talks. The dialogue and sound effects were the only compromises Chaplin was willing, at the time, to make with the new era of sound.

One purpose of Counterpoint was to supplement applications to the film schools at USC and UCLA, the two major feeders for TV and Hollywood, and partly for this reason the picture is flashy--over 400 special lab effects were...
...narrative films--and with good reason. Working on tight budgets with no assistants, using only the relatively primitive equipment Harvard has to offer, the student filmmaker faces so many production problems even in a short that he barely has time to consider his film as a whole. In a full-length film the burden of technical impositions becomes enormous. Novice directors tend to be gimmicky and hard-to-follow even in short films...
