Cutie And The Boxer

The life of married couple and fellow artists Ushio and Noriko Shinohara is looked at in this 2013 documentary.  This is a really charming film examining their beautiful and tumultuous life together and mirrored art that sustains and supports them both.  Told through their own words, including old video footage from their 40 years together and an a nice film animation of the now rising work of Noriko's alter-ego character Cutie, this documentary is just as much art as it is about chronicling the life of artist. It's a nice and touching view of the marriage of art and real life on so many different levels.
