The prolific Steven Soderbergh has already cooked up another film, a look at the life of “master monologist” Spalding Gray. The film premiered at Slamdance last year to positive reviews. I’ve never heard of Gray until now but his life definitely seems interesting, especially to get inside the mind of someone who committed suicide. Check out the trailer below via Apple.
Synopsis: 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.
And Everything Is Going Fine hits theaters and VOD on December 10th via IFC Films.
