All my life, I've mouthed off about how I should stop acting, and I don't know why it was different this time, but the impulse to quit took root in me, and that became a compulsion. It was something I had to do," he said. At the NYFF, 'Anemone" will be screened under the Spotlight section. The film gala will run from September 26 to October 13.
