Movie #2150 ........................." Derek DelGaudio's In and Of Itself" (netflix)

 Movie #2150 "Derek DelGaudio's In and Of Itself" -- Wow!  This is a must see for many people because not only is it entertaining and intriguing but such a think piece!  A little backstory.....Alums recommended it (Thanks to Mike and Karen for finding this one!) , Stephen Colbert and his wife produced it, Frank Oz (Miss Piggy and a great director) directed it, and it was a one-man show off Broadway for 500+ shows and this is an amalgam of those theatre experiences.    That being said, we went into this not knowing anything else, and that's why this blog won't say much more --- I think the word for it is ineffable -- unexplainable --- if I tried to, I risk ruining the experience for you, so I thought you should see it on recommendation .  A couple years ago I had a like feeling when I watched "Nanette" (Hannah Gadsby) And although it is on different subjects, for sure, they are similar in the emotional impact the presentation had on me.  And I would love to talk to people about it, so if you do see it (or have seen it) and you want to have a more in- depth disc about it, please message me, or let me know here and I will message you.  But if you make comments under this blog, please don't give anything away about it.  There's something sacred in that.  I wish I would have seen the live show, but I had never heard about it.  Now you've heard about it,  see if you want to watch it.  I think most of you will think it is quite amazing.  I give it a 5 out of 5.

"DEREK DELGAUDIO'S IN AND OF ITSELF"    2020    1hr and 30 mins

Storyteller and conceptual magician Derek DelGaudio attempts to understand the illusory nature of identity and answer the deceptively simple question "Who Am I?"

Director:  Frank Oz

Writer:  Derek DelGaudio

This is what is written on IMDB:

"Please go in without reading up on what you are about to see. Turn off your devices, make sure you won't be interrupted, and just experience it. If your partner/housemate/friend is a chatty show watcher, watch it alone."

It's hard to write a review that doesn't tell you anything, but I think it's quite important not to know what to expect. It can be a deeply moving experience.
