Sang-il Lee’s Oscar-nominated film, a three-hour drama, isn’t the first to explore the sacrifices artists make for their work. However, it’s truly special because it blends the grand, stylized performance of kabuki theater with the deeply personal story of Kikuo and his adopted brother, Shunsuke (Ryusei Yokohama). Similar to the film Drive My Car, Kokuho delicately examines the blurry line between an artist’s creation and their own life, prompting us to wonder whether art imitates life, or life imitates art.

I’ve been a fan of Robert Downey Jr. for ages, and honestly, he’s always been great. Even back in the ’80s, with movies like Less Than Zero and Weird Science, he really stood out. Then in the ’90s, his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin was incredible – he got a lot of deserved attention for that role. But for me, right around the time he became known as Iron Man, he delivered one of his most memorable – and talked-about – performances in Tropic Thunder. It was a really bold and brilliant character.
