NYFF: Joaquin Phoenix and James Gray talk The Immigrant
SummaryOne of the unheralded auteurs of modern American cinema, James Gray has made just five features since his debut at at age 24 with 1994's Little Odessa, but they comprise a unique and personal world portrayed with dynamic classicism -- and in many ways have charted the evolution to acting greatness of his frequent collaborator, Joaquin Phoenix. Gray's latest, The Immigrant, reunites him with Phoenix for a '20s period piece about a Polish woman (Marion Cotillard) who lands on Ellis Island and falls into a wayward life of survival. Gray and Phoenix were on hand at the New York Film Festival recently to discuss the movie. Back to Article
