I haven’t seen Casey Affleck’s documentary “I’m Still Here” about Joaquin Phoenix’s attempts to become a rapper but can’t wait to see it.
It is, however, not a documentray. The director has outed it.
this is from contactmusic.com discussing the New York Time interview: “I never intended to trick anybody. The idea of a ‘hoax’ never entered my mind.” But Affleck admitted Phoenix played his part brilliantly – even risking ridicule for a mumbling appearance on American chat show host David Letterman’s late-night programme last year (09). “
This is performance art taken to career ending extremes!!!
A must see.
