Movie Reviews of Thoth

Movie Review: A wonderful person and stroy
Summary: 5 Stars

All I can say is I came across Thoth performing (the year before this movie came out) in Central Park. I knew nothing about him, his work, his art, his past..., but his performance just made me feel wonderful. calm and happy in a very simple way. That is quite rare and we need far more people like this in the world.

Summary of Thoth

ACADEMY AWARD, BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT

On an afternoon in New York's Central Park, you might come upon a whirling, stamping street musician who's nearly naked except for a gold loincloth. This is Stephen Kaufmann, a.k.a. "Thoth", an iconoclastic performer who presents original one-man operas, singing all parts male and female in an unknown language, accompanied by a violin and an unmatched physical exuberance.

Thoth draws his inspiration from the "Festad", a mythical world of his own creation. As a child of mixed race parentage, young Stephen sought to escape the discrimination and hostility he encountered by retreating into this alternate world, over time developing its geography, its history and legends, even its language. Now he is no longer on the retreat: He brings his fantasy world directly to mystified, intrigued crowds in the park.

As he reveals the details of his eccentric life's journey, Thoth makes known his mission: No less than to help heal the disunity of the world. By turns earnest, funny, poignant and outrageous, Thoth presents himself as the portrait of a modern mythmaker.
