Spalding Gray sits behind a desk throughout the entire film and recounts his exploits and chance encounters while playing a minor role in the film 'The Killing Fields'. At the same time, he gives a background to the events occurring in Cambodia at the time the film was set.

For 85 minutes, Spalding Gray fleeces a yarn about his time spent filming The Killing Fields (1984) in Cambodia and gives a brief history lesson about the area as well. And for 85 minutes, I'm enthralled.
Jonathan Demme directs this with as much love and care as he did Stop Making Sense a few years earlier, even though this is simply Spalding sitting at a desk on a stage.
Glad to own it!
