Academy Award®-winner Geoffrey Rush delivers a tour de force performance in this imaginative, eye-opening look at charismatic British actor Peter Sellers, whose brilliant, idiosyncratic gift for mimicry and invention catapulted him to international cultural icon status. The film contrasts Sellers' uncanny ability to adopt the personalities of others with his tortured inability to embrace a personality of his own. As conveyed by Rush (who portrays over a dozen incarnations of the actor in this film), Sellers' comic masks served as windows to his inner life, his perpetual transformations revealing both his unquenchable need for love - and the enduring difficulty he had in returning it. Featuring a superb supporting cast led by fellow Oscar®-winner Charlize Theron, Oscar® nominees Emily Watson and John Lithgow, plus Stanley Tucci, Miriam Margolyes and Stephen Fry. |
