    A mesmerizing odyssey through the mind of a uniquely talented performer, as well as through one of the gorier chapters of modern history.

    Mr. Gray's feature-length monologue brings people, places and things so vibrantly to life that they're very nearly visible on the screen.

    Very much a matter of shared taste and attitude, but cultural outsiders had best beware.
