Monster in a Box (1992)

Directed by Nick Broomfield

Overview

Monologuist Spalding Gray talks about the great difficulties he experienced while attempting to write his first novel, a nearly 2,000-page autobiographical tome concerning the death of his mother. Among his many asides, Gray discusses his problems in dealing with the Hollywood film industry, recounts the trips he took around the world in order to avoid dealing with his writer’s block and describes his ambivalence about acting as stage manager for a Broadway production of “Our Town.”
