And everything is going fine

DVD - 2012

After the death in 2004 of American theater actor and monologist Spalding Gray, director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) pieced together a narrative of Gray's life to create the documentary And Everything is Going Fine. Brilliantly and sensitively assembled entirely from footage of Gray, taken from interviews and one-man shows from throughout his career, it is a rich, full portrait, and autobiography of sorts, of a figure who was never less than candid but retained an air of mystery.

Review by Library Journal Review

Actor Spalding Gray (1941-2004) is best known for his autobiographical theatrical monologues (Swimming to Cambodia; Monster in a Box), several of which were adapted for film-including Steven Soderbergh's Anatomy, where the monologist's unusual ocular malady provides the catalyst for a biting rumination on medicine, mortality, and other thought-provoking issues. Soderbergh's Everything offers an adroitly edited performance clip and interview assemblage chronicling a unique talent. For biography fans. (c) Copyright 2012.
