Joaquin Phoenix takes an Andy Kaufman-esque turn in this cleverly staged performance, in which he "quits acting" to "pursue a rap career" and "goes headlong into a downward spiral." Phoenix and Affleck kept up the ruse for the entire year they filmed this, and well into the theatrical release. They've since let the cat out of the bag, and that's good - because it's too painful to watch if you didn't know it was constructed parody.
