Résumé anglais In one shot from The Face on the Bar Room Floor (1914), observance of the proprieties is shown to have stimulated the director's art of composition and staging, and to have served rather than stifled his eroticism : Chaplin's side-stepping leads him to enrich his mise en scène, and to give expression to even more subtle and secret layers of Charlie's libido. Further analysis of a sequence from A Woman of Paris (1923), whose theme and visual motifs echo the scene from The Face, shows découpage and elliptic editing identically spurred by the pressures of (self) censorship.
