Charlie Chaplin became a screen legend making silent movies. Now more than 70 years after talkies took hold, Chaplin’s daughter Geraldine has made a movie in which she speaks not a word. (All the other actors talk.) It is ‘Mosquito Net,” a black comedy from Spain that is in competition here at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic. Chaplin portrays a senile granny. The film, directed by Agusti Vila, also features hot young Columbian actress Martina Garcia, as a maid who has an affair with her male boss. I had a chance to interview Garcia. You can read all about our chat in my Cine File column when I return to NYC.

At a party at the elegant Grand Hotel Pupp, I met Maria de Medeiros, whose “Hitler in Hollywood” also is in competition. I told the Portuguese singer and actress that I had not seen it because it was sold out but that I remembered her from “Pulp Fiction.” Perhaps I should not have said that because she told the festival daily she ”wouldn’t define myself as the girl” from the Tarantino film. Oh well.
