]]> A Beautiful Sundance Award winner about a Dumbo-based artist couple, Cutie And The Boxer opens at Sunshine and Lincoln Plaza on Friday, August 16, 2013. Besides being filmed in and around Dumbo, painter Ushio Shinohara has been in Dumbo since the ’70s.
Synopsis:
Once a rising star in the ‘70s New York art scene, 80-year-old “boxing” painter Ushio Shinohara hopes to reinvigorate his career as he preps for his latest show. His wife, and de facto assistant, Noriko, seeks her own recognition through her “Cutie” illustrations, which depict their chaotic, yet sustained, 40-year marriage. Heinzerling’s camera captures the Brooklyn-based couple at home and at work, combining candid vérité scenes, archival footage and charming animated sequences of Noriko’s drawings. 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.
