JOAQUIN PHOENIX, THE CRAFT OF EMOTION

An intense star

Synopsis

At the peak of his career, Joaquin Phoenix suddenly seems to give up everything.

He had starred in numerous blockbusters and immersed himself in his roles, getting two Oscar nominations as a reward. Now, seemingly out of the blue, he claims to be ending his film career and pursuing a career as a rapper instead.

Is this one of the most extraordinary talents of his generation breaking down in front of everyone, or is he thumbing his nose at a meaningless Hollywood machine?
