We recently added And Everything Is Going Fine to the DBRL collection. The film played at the 2010 True False Film Fest and currently has a rating of 89% from critics at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
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.
