Phoenix Adult Entertainment: Joaquin Phoenix’s Documentary Picked Up
Posted by: phoenixconfidential in Phoenix adult entertainmentJoaquin Phoenix, an Academy Award-nominated actor, quit his acting career in 2008 to pursue a career in music, particularly rapping. There was much speculation as to whether this was a publicity stunt or not because Phoenix had hired director Casey Affleck to record footage of him for a documentary.
This footage was assembled into I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix, which was shown at a private screening in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times said that the film featured Phoenix, “snorting cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively and rapping badly.”
Magnolia Pictures has picked up this documentary for a limited September 10 release, with a wider release to follow. Magnolia’s president, Eamonn Bowles, loved the documentary despite the fact that the L.A. Times said that it featured “more male frontal nudity than you’d find in some gay porn films.”
