The line separating sincere bizarreness and craven publicity stunt is a terrifyingly thin one, and it’s straddled everyday by rapper, conversationalist, and sometime actor Joaquin Phoenix. Thankfully, his hirsute turn to music has been documented by his brother-in-law and first-time director Casey Affleck, that we may truly know the depths of Phoenix’s transformation/long-con. I’m Still Here (out September 10), after a tantalizing poster, now has a trailer.
Alas, it doesn’t include what are sure to be some of the film’s coups de cinéma, such as “more male frontal nudity than you’d find in some gay porn films and a stomach-turning sequence in which someone feuding with Phoenix defecates on the actor while he’s asleep.” We’ll just have to wait until that Friday in September, when we find out what kind of water drop we are.
