Cutie and the Boxer is a TFI Documentary Fund grantee and is the debut feature of Zachary Heinzerling, who received the Best Director award at this year's Sundance. The film is a moving portrait of the 40-year New York love story between renowned artist Ushio Shinohara and his wife Noriko. 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. The film captures the Brooklyn-based couple at home and at work, combining candid vérité scenes, archival footage and charming animated sequences of Noriko’s drawings to show two lives united by a dedication to art-making for a touching meditation on the eternal themes of love and sacrifice.
