Thoth

Someone sent me this, a very funny short get out the vote video (Sarah Silverman just keeps getting funnier)


But on the sidebar was a link to "Thoth." All I saw was a guy with a violin, but of course that was enough to get me to click. Apparently this film won an Oscar for best short documentary in 2002. I never watch anything longer than about 5 minutes on the computer but I was rapt for the entire 40 minutes. I was so taken by this man's story about identity, self, and the creative process. The music and performance are incredible.

Maybe I *do* like opera, at least if it's performed in a tunnel in Central Park!
