Downey Sr. gets a documentary.

Robert Downey Jr. features his father in the new Netflix film Sr., which examines his life and effect on Hollywood and his son. Downey Jr., 57, adds in the teaser, “I recall a cacophony of inventiveness, but primarily laughing.”

“A wonderfully irreverent picture of the life, work, and dying days of maverick director Robert Downey Sr.” The description says Sr. “examines Downey’s life, notably his connection with son Robert Downey Jr.”

Sr. was shot over three years and premiered in September at Telluride.

In the film, the Avengers: Endgame star focuses on his connection with his father amid his Parkinson’s disease decline, portraying a more sensitive portrayal of one of the world’s most recognized actors.

The film celebrates Senior’s nonlinear, outlaw-life attitude, including his desire to make a farewell picture.

Smith’s picture of a family and an artist is a bizarre and melancholy meditation on life, a celebration of producing art without constraints that throws aside its own rulebook.
