Book review: Who I Am by Charlote Rampling

A book by the actress Charlotte Rampling is strange in more ways than one. TP O’Mahony finds it to be a strange hybrid — neither an autobiography nor a memoir, but a collection of memories and musings.

HER starring role in two films — The Night Porter (1974) and Swimming Pool (2003) — has cemented Charlotte Rampling’s place in cinematic history.

In between there have been many other acclaimed roles of course for the English-born actress who is now 71, but her performances in these two controversial films stand out.
