  • Summary

  • Joaquin Phoenix is one of the greatest actors of his generation. For three decades, he’s moved seamlessly between auteur-driven films (Her, The Master) and box-office sensations (Gladiator, Joker).

    We sit today for a rare, long-form conversation with Phoenix, starting with his latest film, Joker: Folie à Deux (7:00), his free-wheeling collaborations with director Todd Phillips (9:30), and the nomadic upbringing that marked his early years (13:13). Then, he reflects on his childhood television debut in Hill Street Blues (20:30), the brilliance of Robert De Niro (27:20), and his formative performances in To Die For and Parenthood (31:50).

    On the back-half, we discuss how the polarizing mockumentary, I’m Still Here (42:07), inspired his singular collaborations with directors Spike Jonze, Paul Thomas Anderson, James Gray, and Lynne Ramsay (46:10). We also talk about the evolution of his acting process (48:00), the impassioned Oscars speech he delivered accepting Best Actor for Joker (52:45), and whether he’ll ever turn in what he believes is a ‘great’ performance (58:22).
