In case you didn't already know, Joaquin Phoenix has been showing very eccentric behavior lately including: appearing high as a kite on the David Letterman Show, rapping, and always fashioning those shades and the beard. Oh I remember the good ol' days when he was still acting, playing Johnny Cash and that pervert Caesar.. So is this all staged? Is this a documentary or a mockumentary of a wild year? Magnolia, who bought the film, described it in their press release as such:
[a] striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix…sometimes funny, sometimes shocking and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.
Extreme behavior is also said to be in the film. Reportedly, it includes on-screen cocaine use, hiring hookers, oral sex with a publicist, a great deal of full frontal male nudity and a scene in which someone poops on Phoenix while he sleeps. You really want to see this now, don't you? It has a limited release on September 10 but will be wider a week later.[a] striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix…sometimes funny, sometimes shocking and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads.
