Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin
Opens Feb. 13
New York
NEW YORK -- Richard Schickel's documentary about the 20th century's greatest cinematic figure is a worthy addition to the growing catalog of film history chronicles. Commissioned by Warner Home Video in conjunction with its continuing series of reissues of Chaplin's films on DVD, "Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin" opens today for a limited theatrical engagement at New York's Landmark Sunshine before airing next month on TCM. The film, a finalist for this year's Oscar documentary race, will have a long life on cable and video.
Schickel's documentary, narrated by Sydney Pollack, breaks no new ground stylistically, but it is a well-organized, informative and inevitably entertaining portrait of the man who revolutionized screen comedy and who arguably became the first mass-market, commercialized media figure. Chronicling Chaplin's career from the first onscreen appearance of his immortal Tramp character, in the 1914 "Kid Auto Races at Venice", to his old age spent in Switzerland while exiled from the United States, the film contains a cornucopia of film clips, rare footage and interviews with colleagues, relatives and contemporary admirers.
The latter includes such directors as Woody Allen, Milos Forman, Martin Scorsese and Richard Attenborough as well as performers who have been greatly influenced by Chaplin, including Johnny Depp, who appropriated the famous "dance of the rolls" from "The Gold Rush" in "Benny & Joon"
Robert Downey Jr., who received an Oscar nomination for his performance as Chaplin in the 1992 biopic
and mime artists Marcel Marceau and Bill Irwin.
Direct reminiscences are offered by David Raskin, who collaborated with Chaplin on the music for "Modern Times", and actors Norman Lloyd and Claire Bloom, who appeared with him in "Limelight". A trio of Chaplin's children -- Geraldine, Sydney and Michael -- offer more personal accounts.
Although the film deals in great detail with Chaplin's often tortured personal life, including a succession of relationships with very young women, it is clearly more interested in his working methods. Rare footage of Chaplin at work on the set painstakingly attempting to create his complex gags is endlessly fascinating, and the generous selection of clips from his films, naturally presented in Pristine Condition, demonstrate that the impact of his artistry has not diminished with time.
The most poignant segment takes home movies of the elderly Chaplin at home in Switzerland entertaining his young children with various comic bits and juxtaposes them with clips from the original films in which the gags appeared. It's a brilliant piece of montage that perfectly captures the legendary star's insatiable desire to amuse.
