About This Item
ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. Captures the essence of comic genius Charlie Chaplin in a compelling, nuanced performance that earned him Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. Director Richard Atten boroughs well-crafted portrait traces Chaplins impoverished London upbringing, extraordinary success as an actor and director, his troubled marriages, scandalous affairs, shocking exile to Switzerland and his triumphant return to Hollywood. The huge star-studded cast includes Kevin Kline, Dan Aykroyd, Milla Jovovich, Diane Lane and Geraldine Chaplin (as her own grandmother), and Downeys astonishing mimicry of Chaplins gait, gestures and accents complete a dazzlingly authentic portrait of one of cinemas first pop culture icons. Directed by Sir Richard Attenborough.
