Past Run
Cutie and the Boxer
Once a rising star in the '70's New York art scene, 80-year-old "boxing" painter Ushio Shinohara is prepping for his latest show, hoping to reinvigorate his career. His wife and de facto assistant, Noriko, seeks her own recognition through her "Cutie" illustrations, which depict their chaotic 40-year marriage. CUTIE AND THE BOXER captures two lives united by a dedication to art-making for a touching meditation on the eternal themes of love and sacrifice.
An Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature.
“A movie that makes you feel less like a spectator than a guest, a friend welcomed into the home of an odd and fascinating couple.”
