Joaquin Phoenix

Reason for leaving cinema:
Pursuing a music career / growing a beard / general estrangement from reality.

Final Film: Two Lovers Not so much going out with bang as with a whimper Two Lovers, released in March in the UK, is a minor but satisfying drama which has unfortunately been completely overshadowed by Joaquin's baffling appearance on David Letterman. How long this divorce from cinema will actually last is anyone's guess.
