Crispin Hellion Glover returns with What Is It? and It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine, the first two installments of a nearly completed trilogy, for an intimate screening of the two in the comforts of our big cinema.The first is a mythic, visionary film. Glover spent nine years making an amazing piece of experimental cinema, acting as writer, director, producer, star and sole financier. If asked what the film is about, he would say, “It’s about the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home. He’s tormented by a hubristic, racist inner psyche.” Most of the cast has Down Syndrome, and the acts in which they engage will have you squirming in your seats. Glover leaves no taboo untouched in this whirlpool of wild and weird images.
