IFC Films have debuted online the trailer for the Steven Soderbergh documentary AND EVERYTHINGS GOING FINE a movie focused on the actor Spalding Gray who died in 2004. To be honest I dont really know much about the man apart from his part in The Killing Fields, obvivously Soderbergh who is a character driven filmmaker did see alot in Spaldings life and he beleved his story must be told and the movie is his outcome.
The Doc consists mostly of recorded footage & interviews of Gray compiled into to making the movie which had already played the likes of Edinburgh & Sxsw festivals to positive reviews. The movie is due a cinematic release in USA on 10th December as for UK no date has been confirmed.
Synopsistrailer after the break....
AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE, an incisive and entertaining portrait of Spalding Gray by director Steven Soderbergh provides an intimate look at the master monologist as described by his most critical, irreverent and insightful biographer: Spalding Gray. Soderbergh distills 25 years of rare and revealing footage to construct a riveting final monologue. An official selection of the SXSW, True/False and Edinburgh film festivals, this inspired one-man show is a bittersweet display of the writer-performer's playful and embattled intelligence, and his gift for tracking universal truths by looking himself squarely in the eye.
Time to get to know him as his influence has been wide spread. Read about the reasons that Soderbergh made this film.
ReplyDeleteLondon showing is hopefully to be arranged for the Documentary Film Festival in 2011. All details on all showings is on spaldinggray.com under Fine.
