“Charlotte,” an animated film and drama with a voice cast led by Keira Knightley, has been acquired for a U.S. release by Good Deed Entertainment, the distributor announced Wednesday.
“Charlotte” made its premiere at TIFF earlier this year and is the true story of Charlotte Salomon, a young German-Jewish artist who came of age on the eve of WWII and created a series of autobiographical paintings while hiding from the Nazis, a series called “Life? or Theatre?” The distributor plans to release the film theatrically on April 22, 2022.
“Charlotte” is directed by Tahar Rana and Eric Warin, and the English-language voice cast features Brenda Blethyn, Jim Broadbent, Sam Claflin, Eddie Marsan, the late Helen McCrory, Sophie Okonedo and Mark Strong.
