HIGHLY stylised biopic of the late comic genius (Geoffrey Rush), based on the book by Roger Lewis, tracing Sellers' life from his hugely popular stint on The Goon Show to his meteoric rise and fall in the movie industry, reaching giddy heights with the Pink Panther movies.

Professional success contrasts with a disastrous private life, including a self-destructive marriage to his wife Anne (Emily Watson), an unrequited flirtation with Sophia Loren (Sonia Aquino) and a brief fling with Britt Ekland (Charlize Theron).
