Opis

The most distinguished actor among Charlie Chaplin's children, Geraldine Chaplin has created a striking performative presence across international cinema. In shifting cinematic contexts and through collaborations with major film directors, she playfully evokes the memory of her iconic father, while establishing her own distinctive screen art. Geraldine Chaplin: The Gift of Film Performance is a long-overdue appreciation of Chaplin's remarkable screen achievements, and includes close readings of her performances in films such as Doctor Zhivago, Peppermint Frappe, Cria cuervos, Nashville, Welcome to L.A., Remember My Name, Noroit, Chaplin, Talk to Her, and more.
