I recently saw the mock-documentary, I'm Still Here starring Joaquin Phoenix. The film follows a celebrity in melt down and his battle with the media and people around him.
This movie has a fascinating concept, exploring celebrity culture and the pressure that one man feels to match the expectant public that have such high standards for him. Joaquin Phoenix is mesmerising playing this alter ego that I loved to see him on the screen. However, the direction which the film took made what should of been a unique look inside the dark side of celebrity culture a mundane and disappointing experience, which could have been so much better.
