Country: US
Technical: col 87m
Director: Jonathan Demme
Cast: Spalding Gray
Synopsis:
The actor/raconteur describes his experience of taking part in the making of The Killing Fields, with numerous digressions onto other topics.
Review:
An amazing display of one-man showmanship, with careful lighting and cutting, but on the whole sustained by a barrage of theatrical tricks from the actor. There is an affecting balance between his evidently cherished experience of working on the film and the lessons he draws on man's insanity.
