Everyone has a wild side. Even a legend.

Drama

An aged Charlie Chaplin narrates his life to his autobiography's editor, including his rise to wealth and comedic fame from poverty, his turbulent personal life and his run-ins with the FBI.

VIBE

This is a sweeping, often bittersweet journey through a legendary life, feeling both grand and intimately personal. It's a charming, yet melancholic look at the price of genius and fame, wrapped in a classic Hollywood aesthetic that evokes a bygone era of cinematic magic and personal struggle.
