Cutie and the Boxer

An intimate observational documentary, Cutie And The Boxer chronicles the unique love story of Ushio and Noriko Shinohara, a pair of married Japanese artists living in New York. Anxious to shed her role as assistant to her overbearing husband, Noriko finds an identity of her own. This film is a moving portrait of a couple wrestling with the eternal themes of sacrifice, disappointment and ageing — all set against a background of shared lives dedicated to art.
