Eddie Izzard

Dress to Kill moves through history, religion and film with the air of a mind discovering its own next thought. The longer film passages, including The Great Escape, show how Izzard builds little performed scenes inside a larger verbal journey. Start with the complete recording to hear how subjects flow into one another. The seeming spontaneity is the point of interest: a hesitant aside or an imagined conversation makes a complex sequence feel like an invitation to follow along.
