I'm Still Here

The chronicle of a radical career change or a well-orchestrated farce? Whatever it really is, the film that Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck put together about the former's, alleged, retirement from acting is a furious, unruly and highly entertaining mockumentary (?).

Synopsis

Just two years after receiving an Oscar nomination for his powerhouse performance as Johnny Cash in 'Walk the Line,' actor Joaquin Phoenix shocked show business by announcing his retirement from acting to pursue a career as a hip hop musician. 'I'm Still Here,' directed by Phoenix's brother-in-law and fellow actor Casey Affleck, tells the story of the star's life change.
