Charlotte is an animated biopic film about the World War II-era German-Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon, inspired by her autobiographical series of paintings Life? Or Theatre?. A Canadian-Belgian-French coproduction, it was directed by Eric Warin and Tahir Rana.Aspiring German expressionist painter Charlotte Salomon is the daughter of an affluent Berlin family who becomes wary of the increasingly public antisemitism in Nazi Germany. Despite the Salomons being Jewish, her father Albert's prominence and Charlotte's own talent win her a spot in the Academy of Fine Arts, where she hones her craft and romances singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn.After the mass pogroms of Kristallnacht in November 1938, Charlotte is sent to live with her grandparents and a wealthy German-American millionaire, where she finds new love in fellow refugee Alexander Nagler. But when she learns some family secrets, Charlotte takes it upon herself to paint her life story, even as France becomes increasingly unsafe for Jews.The English language version features the voices of Keira Knightley as Charlotte, Eddie Marsan as Albert Salomon, Helen McCrory as Paula Salomon (McCrory's final film performance), Mark Strong as Alfred Wolfsohn, Jim Broadbent and Brenda Blethyn as Charlotte's grandparents, Sophie Okonedo as Ottilie Moore, Sam Claflin as Alexander Nagler and Henry Czerny as Dr. Moridius and Julian Richings as Dr. Kurt Singe. The French language version features the voices of Marion Cotillard as Charlotte, Romain Duris as Alfred, Philippe Catoire as Charlotte's grandfather, Damien Boisseau as Alexander and Bernard Lanneau as Mr. Schmidt.The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2021, ahead of theatrical debuts in Canada and France in 2022.Not to be confused with the anime.

At the Opera Tonight: Charlotte and her family attend an opera in 1935 Berlin, which is interrupted by members of the Nazi party attempting to drive out Jews in the audience. The brutality of this is contrasted by the high-class setting.
