FSA Film Night: A Woman of Paris

This month’s selection is a silent film, A Woman of Paris (1923), written and directed by Charlie Chaplin.

Synopsis: Marie St. Clair (Edna Purviance) is a desperate young woman who suspects she has been dumped by her flighty fiancé, Jean (Carl Miller), after he mysteriously stands her up at a railway station, where they were to meet in order to travel to Paris together. She goes off to Paris alone, where she meets wealthy Pierre Revel (Adolphe Menjou) and becomes his mistress. But a year later she meets Jean again and, suddenly caught between two men, isn't sure where her heart truly lies.

Here’s how to join:

- (Optional): Prepare/procure the thematic menu items, curated by co-founding FSA members Ariele Elia and April Calahan.

- Rent/stream A Woman of Paris on Amazon ($3.99) and view the film synchronously with us on Friday evening, Nov 13 at 7:00 PM EST

- Join co-founding member April Calahan and fashion and film scholar Raissa Bretaña as they lead a virtual discussion immediately following the film at 8:30 pm EDT.
