My Left Foot

By now Daniel Day-Lewis has garnered quite the reputation for fully enveloping himself in his roles, but he may never again find a challenge so rewarding as his Oscar-winning turn in My Left Foot. Day-Lewis stars in the true story of Christy Brown, a man who fights through the physical limitations of cerebral palsy to become an acclaimed artist and writer. The tale may be miraculous, but its hero is flawed, funny and wonderfully human.
