The Ralph Handel Story

[BE THE FIRST TO RATE THIS MOVIE]
Calorie Rating: 21
Released: 2006-06-19
Running Time: 15 Minutes
Studios: Red Bucket Films,


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 cinéma vérité that edges into performance art—Safdie performed the disastrous sets in real clubs—the film channels Andy Kaufman’s anti-comedy and the self-reflexive diary mode of David Holzman’s Diary to sketch a sly portrait of a life quietly coming undone.
