One of the unheralded auteurs of modern American cinema, James Gray has made just five features since his debut at at age 24 with 1994's Little Odessa, but they comprise a unique and personal world portrayed with dynamic classicism -- and in many ways have charted the evolution to acting greatness of his frequent collaborator, Joaquin Phoenix. Gray's latest, The Immigrant, reunites him with Phoenix for a '20s period piece about a Polish woman (Marion Cotillard) who lands on Ellis Island and falls into a wayward life of survival. Gray and Phoenix were on hand at the New York Film Festival recently to discuss the movie.
