Best: I’m Still Here
Casey Affleck's documentary was as much of a mess as the put-on version of Joaquin Phoenix he was chronicling, but for a brief shining moment, this poster seemed to promise everything the movie was unable to deliver: wit, art, and a point. (via nymag.com)
The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I’M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I’M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. 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.
You've got to admit, the poster is prety sweet. Good job on the marketing, and acting, but according to movie reviews, not so good of a job on movie-making.
