I'm Still Here

“He's done with Hollywood.”

Joaquin Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix) is a celebrated actor who announces in the fall of 2008 that he is finished with film and wants to make hip-hop records instead. Casey Affleck films him through the following year, the beard growing out, the sunglasses staying on, every public appearance played with a straight face. Affleck stays close behind the camera the whole way, and what the film leaves in the frame is two friends working on the same long, strange project.
