Synopsis: One of the great raconteurs of stage and screen, Spalding Gray (Swimming to Cambodia), came together with one of cinema's boldest image-makers, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic), for GRAY'S ANATOMY, a spellbinding adaptation of Gray's 1993 monologue of the same name (cowritten with Renée Shafransky). In it, Gray, with typical sardonic relish, chronicles his arduous journey through the diagnosis and treatment of a rare and alarming ocular condition. For the monologist, this experience occasioned a meditation on illness and mortality, medicine and metaphysics; for the filmmaker, it was a chance to experiment with ways of bringing his subject's words to brilliant, eye-opening life.
