Behind the bowler hat and moustache of the 20th century's most recognisable character lies a myriad of stories that helped to shape cinema's most important star. Looking for Charlie is a candid look behind the scenes of the silent era which delves into the ways in which the legends we celebrate are built upon complex human stories. It is a film about superstardom and obscurity, the highs and lows of Hollywood, and the thin line between genius and despair.
