From the director of "Silence of the Lambs,"
"Stop Making Sense," "Something Wild," and
"Philadelphia" comes Jonathan Demme's
"Swimming to Cambodia," the first of three
of the late Spalding Gray's monologues to
make it to the screen (the other two are
"Monster in a Box" and "Gray's Anatomy").

In the film, Gray details his travails in
Thailand, such as his wild escapades at a
Bangkok sex show, his view on the Khmer
Rouge genocide, amongst other things, all
while acting in a small supporting part in
"The Killing Fields." Gray is a superb
storyteller, we are completely enveloped
from the first minute, but he is smart enough
to acknowledge the self-indulgence of the
material.
