The Immigrant
USA – 120 mins

Director: James Gray
Writer(s): James Gray and Ric Menello

Cast: Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jeremy Renner

Ewa is plucked from the deportation line by Bruno Weiss (Joaquin Phoenix), who hands the guard a few bills to facilitate Ewa’s hasty transfer to a Manhattan-bound boat. In fact, Bruno runs a bevy of bawdy women in a burlesque hall, offering their supplemental services to men willing to pay. He keeps his “little doves” several flights up in the tenement where he lives. Phoenix plays this guy with a kind of unpredictable, flummoxed charm. He can be wily and confident one minute, needy and pathetic the next.
