about

With fifty minutes of original music, The Real Charlie Chaplin marks composer Robert Honstein’s first foray into the world of film music. Each cue reflects the various sides of the dynamic actor-comedian and his life, from his mesmerizing on-camera antics to the tumultuous and secretive personal life. Much like the documentary narrative, the music follows his harsh childhood, through the years of stardom and scandal, to the later years of fatherhood and mystery.

Premiering at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, the soundtrack was nominated for Outstanding Music Composition in the 43rd News & Documentary Emmys. Directed by Peter Middleton and James Spinney, the film received documentary award nominations from the Zurich Film Festival, Hamptons International Film Festival, British Independent Film Award, and three Critics’ Choice Awards. The documentary began streaming on Showtime in December 2021 and premiered in UK theaters in February 2022.
