Good featurette on Chaplin's most underrated feature

I was always flabbergasted by the ongoing negative reception of A KING IN NEW YORK. It might not be Chaplin's best, but the satire of American culture is so on point (tell me his digs at the omnipresence of advertising are still not applicable to our ad-saturated landscape!) and Michael Chaplin is such an engaging kid character-- I have to confess it is my second favorite of Chaplin's talkies.

This video featurette is a fine appreciation of the movie starring director Jim Jarmusch and Michael Chaplin. Their comments on the film make me appreciate it all the more.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people.
