Charlotte Rampling has said, "You can't watch yourself dispassionately." This sentiment frames the fascinating film that examines her career: THE LOOK. Made in conjunction with Rampling herself, THE LOOK, dubbed a self-portrait through others, explores the enigmatic Rampling without destroying her mystery. This compelling documentary examines issues of beauty, age, death, sexuality, and taboo through electrifying conversations between Rampling and her artist friends as well as clips from Rampling's iconic roles.
The Look peers behind the surface of the image and investigates the fears and desires that propel human action. At once philosophical and colloquial, The Look reflects the power and mystery of Rampling's star persona. The film is a terrific study of artistic creation, the craft of performance, and life itself. The anti-thesis of an in-depth interview, tell-all, or star reality show, The Look is about an intellectual engagement between the subject and the audience, it is a film built on the idea of collaboration. The Look is part of our special look of Charlotte Rampling as well as our Reality Bites: Documenting The Real series.
