Additional InformationSir Richard Attenborough's CHAPLIN is a dramatised depiction of the highs and lows in the life of Charlie Chaplin (Robert Downey, Jr. in a highly acclaimed performance), one of the true comic geniuses of the early silver screen. Presented as the memories of an elderly Chaplin, the narrative opens with the comic's impoverished East London childhood, and progresses through his vaudeville and Hollywood successes to his virtual banishment from the United States, and eventually his welcome back to accept a special Academy Award--20 years too late.

ReviewsSight and Sound - ...Downey excels in reconstructions..., USA Today - ...A dynamic central performance..., Entertainment Weekly - ...[Downey] offers a graceful re-creation of the comic's slapstick balleticism...
