Cutie And The Boxer – The story about Ushio Shinohara
Winner of the Directing Award: U.S. Documentary at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, Zachary Heinzerling’s remarkable debut is an indelible portrait of art, companionship, and the 40-year love story between Ushio and Noriko Shinohara, two Japanese artists who meet and marry in New York in the early 1970s. Surviving decades of hardship, resentment, financial anxiety, thwarted aspirations, and Ushio’s chronic alcoholism, they are a study in artistic symbiosis.
