Both films are directed by Charlie Chaplin, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Limelight, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Monsieur Verdoux is

Chaplin's dark comedy asks if mass murder is worse than individual killings. Verdoux is a family man who weds then poisons rich women to support his wife and child. It's a bit unsettling to realize how well the film's cynicism still lands.
