British comedian Eddie Izzard. Good stuff. Won two Emmys, for
writing and performance.

Underground
8:15pm in CSI 1115 on Thursday, November 3
167 min, Color, 1995

Winner of the 1995 Palme d'Or at Cannes, this tragic farce tells the
story of two friends through fifty years of Yugoslavian history, from
their days as war profiteers in WWII to the ethnic cleansing of 1991.
The MIT Tech review had a good quote: "Schindler's List - if it were
written by Monty Python". More than a couple reviews call this 2 3/4 hr
flick a 'snoozer', so there is that. It has 83% on rotten tomatoes, but
from a very small sample of reviewers. People who I've talked to that
have seen it recommended it.
