A trailer for the upcoming Netflix feature documentary Sr. has just got a full trailer. This film is about Robert Downey, the father of legendary actor Robert Downey Jr, and is directed by Chris Smith (American Movie).
The film is described as an irreverent portrait of the life, career, and last days of maverick filmmaker Robert Downey Sr., whose rebellious spirit infused decades of counterculture movie-making.
According to the official notes, ‘“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-like 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.’
The film premieres on 2nd December.
Here’s the trailer.
