The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
Never judge a man by his cover.
Directed by Stephen Hopkins
Produced by Company Pictures, DeMann Entertainment Company
A melancholic portrait of a brilliant but fractured artist whose obsessive dedication to his craft corroded his personal relationships and sense of self.
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.
