Since I'm Still Here came out, have you been a little down on Joaquin Phoenix? Remember the happier, somewhat saner times with this brand-new animated clip, which dramatizes an odd, years-ago encounter between Phoenix and director Werner Herzog where the latter came to the former's aid after a car crash. We promise: There's absolutely no face-defecating or back hair removal.
