A famous left-wing satirical comedy about two ex-convicts, one of whom escaped jail and then worked his way up from salesman to factory owner, where he oversees a highly mechanized operation where the workers are reduced to mere automatons. Fearful of being exposed over his past, at first by his friend and later by another gangster, the owner chooses to give his factory to the workers, then escapes with his friend to the freedom of the open road. The production company for "A Nous la Liberte" was for more than a decade embroiled in a lawsuit claiming that Charles Chaplin had seen their film and plagiarized many ideas from it as he developed "Modern Times.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeWildly funny, endlessly creative, experimental and utterly charming, it is a too-often overlooked classic.
New York Times - 10/10 by Mordaunt HallA Nous, la Liberté is assuredly different from any other screen feature. It bristles with strange originality.
Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Dan JardineDeserves to come out from under the long shadows cast by Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, and bask in the adulation of a whole new generation of filmgoers.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn engrossing satire on modern society's belief in the new industrialization age, showing the Machine was not mankind's salvation.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonCompared to his contemporaries Jean Renoir and Jean Vigo, Clair was a minor talent, though both of these films do contain innovative uses of sound mixed with silent film.
Low IQ Canadian - 6/10 by Martin ScribbsThe French have no equal when it comes to perfectly aligned bottom-kicking, showing revulsion at the ill-breeding of others, or performing semi-socialist slapstick.
User Review - 10/10 by Boris CThis movie brilliantly mingles between silence and audio. It also drives home the point which it is satirizing without sacrificing any of the comedy that comes a long with a satire.
User Review - 10/10 by Valerie MGoing beyond the usual Clair vs. Chaplin debate, A Nous la Liberté is a superior film in terms of satire and criticism. The neoliberal motors of the "organization and progress" motto carry the idea that "work is liberty"; not only that is a lie, but also an idea carried out by modern industrialization enterprises and factories. Addressing such hard topics in a comedic, slapstick way is one of the most unusual moves I've ever seen in cinema (Chaplin may have thought the same). Hence, the ending is a hilarious irony: the substitution of labor by machines and capital caused the exact opposite result. That's the motto of exploitation: "either you accept my preposterous wage or you can eat dust". 99/100
User Review - 10/10 by Mark DThis is my favorite Rene Clair; it is funny, it is political in a light-hearted way; and it is visually wonderful to look at.
User Review - 10/10 by W. David La classic artistic dramedy about the industrial revolution. the version i saw, which i think is the only surviving version, is one that is only subtitled at certain points, so the story is told mainly through its images (also a good portion of it is silent), so unless you know French you have to rely mostly on its imagery to understand what's happening. its basically a very powerful satire on industry of the early 30s and the greed that can come about it.
