Sr. is heading to Netflix very soon.
The forthcoming documentary from Chris Smith (American Movie) about the life and career of filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. will hit the streaming service on December 2, and the first trailer has just arrived.
Produced by Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Kevin Ford, Emily Barclay Ford and Chris Smith, the 89-minute film is described as a “lovingly irreverent portrait” of the filmmaker’s life.
Here’s a full description: “Sr. widens the lens from Downey’s art to the life with which it was deeply intertwined, including an intimate examination of his relationship with son Robert Downey, Jr. Shot over the course of three years, the film truly honors Senior’s nonlinear, outlaw-life approach, including capturing his decision to embark on his own concurrent and final film project. Smith’s portrait of a family and an artist is a meditation on life that’s as surreal as it is sentimental, a celebration of making art with no rules that tosses out its own rulebook along the way.”
