Swimming to Cambodia 1987

1h 25m Documentary Rated 4.0 out of 5

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!
