Utterly charming
I am glad I discovered Max Linder. For over forty years I merrily watched silent films without once ever hearing of this man. But at last I saw some of his work and was instantly smitten. Here was a true cinematic genius (if I may use that clichéd phrase) who understood perfectly how to make films.
But what is perhaps his greatest quality is his charm; his films are, simply, charming. MAX ASTHMATIQUE is no exception. I will not add anything to the well-written critique that is found on this site. It was appreciative and very well written, and I concur wholeheartedly with the author.
The only advice I would offer to anyone who wants to not only have a good laugh but experience the utter joy of watching a fine comic mind is to seek out this and other Linder comedies. He was, as Chaplin labeled him, "the Master."
