Film Information
Ian Charleson is widely known as the star of Chariots of Fire, the first People’s Choice Award winner to receive the Oscar for Best Picture. When the role of a lifetime appeared for Charleson, Hamlet at the National Theatre, he was determined to play the part, despite his recent HIV diagnosis. His performance is widely regarded as one of the finest Hamlets to take the stage, prompting Ian McKellen to refuse his Evening Standard award and defer it to Charleson instead.
Andrew Scott stars in the deeply emotional and inspirational true story of Ian Charleson, a gifted actor whose greatest challenge becomes his greatest triumph. Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace, Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him.
