The Real Charlie Chaplin

Tracing the star’s meteoric rise from the slums of Victorian London to the heights of Hollywood superstardom - and a his fall from grace following The Great Dictator.

A contemporary take on a bona fide icon of cinema, The Real Charlie Chaplin is no standard biopic.

Peter Middleton and James Spinney, the co-directors of Notes on Blindness (2016), have created an innovative and compelling account based on revelatory, newly-unearthed audio recordings, dramatic reconstructions and a wealth of archive material, bringing us close enough to uncover the real Charles Chaplin.
