Time To Meet Robert Downey Senior In Sr.
Mumbai, 15th November 2022 (NewsHelpline) - Netflix drops the official trailer for an acclaimed documentary film titled simply Sr., directed by award-winning doc filmmaker Chris Smith.
The title is a reference to Robert Downey Sr., the father of actor Robert Downey Jr, the very intimate, very personal film is about their father-son relationship and his father's work in the film industry.
The docu-drama is a lovingly irreverent portrait of the life and career of maverick filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. (who passed away in 2021) that devolves into a meditation on art, mortality, and healing generational dysfunction.
The film originally premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival and also showed up at NYFF, AFI Fest, and DOC NYC this fall.
Shot over three years, the film truly honours Senior's nonlinear, outlaw-life approach, including capturing his decision to embark on his own concurrent, final film project.
