Overview

The turbulent personal and professional life of actor Peter Sellers (1925-1980), from his beginnings as a comic performer on BBC Radio to his huge success as one of the greatest film comedians of all time; an obsessive artist so dedicated to his work that neglected his loved ones and sacrificed part of his own personality to convincingly create that of his many memorable characters.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A portrait of a brilliant but fractured man whose genius for becoming other people cost him the ability to be himself with those closest to him. It's a tender and melancholic examination of the gap between the performer we see and the person we never really know.
