09/18: Casey Affleck: Joaquin Phoenix's "I'm Still Here" Was a Performance, Not Reality
Reviewers could not decide if it was real or not, but
"I'm Still Here," the supposed documentary of Joaquin Phoenix's retirement from acting to become a rapper, was a performance piece, not an actual career move.
This, according to the film's director, Casey Affleck. He
told The New York Times that it was a performance - the "performance of his career."
The question remains: was Diddy in on it? In the flm, Phoenix tries to
convince DIddy to produce for him.
Given the clip that was released of him and Diddy interacting, my guess is that Diddy was, in fact, in on the plot and was
playing along when he told the press that the rap move was real.
