The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is a rather disappointing biopic about the British comedy actor Peter Sellers made famous for the part of Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther movies. My main issue with the film was the bizarre scenes in which Peter Sellers (Geoffrey Rush) would assume the character of relatives and friends and break the fourth wall putting his spin on how people perceive him; it felt so out of place. I would rather have watched the real Sellers as Clouseau in one of the fantastic classic Panther films which guarantee a lot of laughs! The Life and Death didn’t amuse me.
