The Real Charlie Chaplin
2021 · Documentary · 114 min. · United States

The definitive story of cinema’s most iconic figure, from an impoverished childhood in London through a spectacular rise to fame, and onto the Hollywood limelight and a self-imposed exile. Through painstaking research, featuring rare photographs, film outtakes, and previously unknown audio recordings, Spinney and Middleton shed light on Chaplin’s family life, his contentious relation to the political commotions of the 20th century, and artistic genius.
