Great news Australia! Roadshow has just announced that Casey Affleck's directorial debut I'm Still Here will be coming to (limited) cinemas on September 16th.
The jury's still out as to whether or not Affleck's film is an actual portrait of Joaquin Phoenix or something more in the vein of Banky's Exit Through the Gift Shop. I'm leaning towards the latter, mostly so I can look upon Phoenix's appearance on David Letterman as a piece of inspired performance art rather than, well, a train wreck.
What say you? And mockumentary or no, how brilliant is the film's poster?
Official synopsis:
With remarkable access, I’M STILL HERE follows Joaquin Phoenix 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.
Australian release date (limited): 16 September 2010
