synopsis
In the 19th century, the discovery of fabulous gold deposits in the Klondike triggers a massive rush of prospectors. A lonely, frail adventurer named Charlie battles a raging snowstorm and survives only by taking refuge in the cabin of an outlaw…
S’il fallait une preuve que le cinéma, en même temps qu’un spectacle, pour samedis soirs, est un art égal aux autres arts, Charlie Chaplin, par cette seule oeuvre, la fournirait.
La Croix
This comedy gem features some of Chaplin’s funniest scenes, including him eating his boot.
BBC
This technically simple, endlessly inventive film balanced laughter and pathos; its cabin fever sequence is unsurpassed.
