Charlotte is a breathtaking animated film that achingly tells the tragic journey of a visionary artist. Charlotte Salomon's "Life? or Theater?" consists of nearly a thousand paintings that depict her recollection of a harrowing upbringing. It is the largest work of art created by a Jew during the Holocaust. Born in Germany to a wealthy family, Charlotte Salomon's artistic gift documented the Nazi rise to power and discovery of dark secrets in her lineage. The film sublimely uses her artwork as a transition between scenes. The narrative stumbles occasionally with a time-focused reliance. But captivates overall with a deep emotional connection to its subject.
