British label Altitude Films has provided us with an official trailer for Peter Middleton and James Spinney's documentary The Real Charlie Chaplin (2021), which is set to open in theaters across the United Kingdom on March 4.
The documentary has not yet been picked up for U.S. distribution.
A Blu-ray release is expected to be announced after the theatrical run ends.
Official description: From the award-winning creative team behind Notes on Blindness and Listen to Me Marlon comes a contemporary take on cinema's most iconic figure. In an innovative blend of newly-unearthed audio recordings, dramatic reconstructions and personal archive, the film traces Charlie Chaplin's meteoric rise from the slums of Victorian London to the heights of Hollywood superstardom, before his scandalous fall from grace.
Refracting his life through a kaleidoscope of previously unheard voices and perspectives, the film sheds new light on the many sides of a groundbreaking, controversial and visionary artist. For decades he was the most famous man in the world but who was The Real Charlie Chaplin?
