The Ralph Handel Story
Synopsis
Co-directed by Benny and Josh Safdie, this deadpan mock-documentary follows Ralph Handel, a buttoned-down office worker who spends his nights bombing on the open-mic circuit. Staged as cinĂ©ma vĂ©ritĂ© that edges into performance artâSafdie performed the disastrous sets in real clubsâthe film channels Andy Kaufmanâs anti-comedy and the self-reflexive diary mode of David Holzmanâs Diary to sketch a sly portrait of a life quietly coming undone.
