Summary
One of the great raconteurs of stage and screen, Spalding Gray, comes together with one of cinema's boldest image makers, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh for this adaptation of Gray's 1993 monologue of the same name. In it, Gray, with typical sardonic relish, chronicles his arduous journey through the diagnosis and treatment of a rare and alarming ocular condition.
