'Charlie Says' tells Manson story from view of women he sent to kill

In "Charlie Says', which premiered in Venice on Sunday, "Doctor Who" star Matt Smith plays Manson, a wide-eyed petty criminal who sets up a hippy commune where his followers worship him like a messiah. Directed by Mary Harron, "Charlie Says" tells the story about three women, still in thrall to Manson and clinging to his bizarre and scattered promises. "that's a perspective that no one has seen and no one has really focused entirely on" Harron told Reuters. "Their story or their journey about how they ended up there and why they did the things they did".
