MCT:August 9, 2008A wonderful, touching, informative, well-done and heartbreaking documentary of the greatest comedic talent of all time. Great interviews with Chaplin's children, Martin Scorsese, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey jr, not to mention numerous film critics and Chaplin biographers. This documentary also features many many great clips of his work. This is definitely a great watch but it also makes me feel like an idiot for not seeing more than half a dozen of Chaplin's films.

An interesting documentary on Chaplin that focuses mainly on his art and achievements. His personal life is examined somewhat in depth from the time he began making movies to the ban on his re-entry to the United States. However, it was disappointing for me because I would have liked there to be more focus on his early life in London, including his love for Hetty Kelly (who was not even mentioned) and especially the FBI file on him and the workings behind his ban to the US, which is only touched upon in this documentary. And indeed, after discussions on LIMELIGHT, this documentary falls a little flat and does not go into the analytical depth of A KING IN NEW YORK and A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG that was persistant for the rest of his work. True, these may be weaker Chaplin films, but they deserve more than mere mention that they were disappointments at the box office.
It's very good as an introduction for those who don't know Chaplin's work and life all that well, but for fans (like me), it's certainly lacking. -

MCT:January 9, 2007The DEFINITIVE documentary on the life of Charles Chaplin. Featuring interviews with both the people who knew him best and current actors and directors who were influenced by his genius. Also includes a plethora of film clips showcasing the greatest movie moments of his career along with rare home movies and newsreel footage. A MUST SEE!
