Rome's film festival offered a first look at A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, showing Charlie Sheen in a role that resonates with his off-screen persona.

For his second film as a director, Roman Coppola shows Charlie Sheen as a self-centered and successful graphic designer who was recently left by his dream girl, played by Katheryn Winnick.

The trailer is a marvelous display of zany humor, à la Wes Anderson, a regular collaborator of Coppola's.

Set in the late 1970s, A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles III also stars Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Aubrey Plaza. The film is scheduled to hit North American theaters in February 2012.
