Chaplin

Richard Attenborough rolls out an all-star cast in this film based on the autobiography of Charlie Chaplin. Robert Downey Jr. does duty here as Chaplin with amazing results in what is perhaps the performance of his life. Though a little slow at times it does manage to examine a good portion of Chaplin's life even if a little heavy on the mother fixation aspect. Speaking of the mother fixation, Milla Jovovich has a scene with a tube of lipstick related to this which is one of the most stunningly erotic you will ever see. A wonderful twist on this as well is the casting of Chaplin's own daughter Geraldine to play his mother! Definately one to check out.
