Charlie

Charlie Gordon is 37 years old but has the mental age of a 6 year old… Due to his intellectual impairment, he’s chosen by a pair of scientists to take part in an experiment to augment his mental capabilities. The operation is a success, and Charlie sees his intelligence increase day by day. But the more he learns, the less he understands the world around him. With a powerhouse cast of 10 romand actors, including the deeply moving Pascal Schopfer, Daniel Keyes’ novel gets an adaptation worth its salt from director Christian Denisart: suspense, poetry, humour and emotion underscore this beautiful quest for happiness.
