The Real Charlie Chaplin
We know him as the film character The Tramp, but who was Charlie Chaplin really? This documentary is a revealing portrait of one of the greatest film artists of all time.
NB: This film will not be shown daily.
Hollywood icon Charlie Chaplin rocketed to fame from the slums of Victorian London and spent decades as one of Hollywood’s most famous and beloved stars until his scandalous fall from grace. His stage persona and incendiary media portrayal defined how he was perceived, but his private life has always been shrouded in mystery – until now. Never-before-heard recordings, intimate home movies and newly restored classic films reveal a side to Chaplin that the world never got to see.
Peter Middleton & James Spinney, UK, 2021, 114 min. English spoken, Dutch subtitles.
