Crispin Glover is coming back to NYC this weekend!!!!

I had the oportunity to check out "WHAT IS IT?" and the Big Slide Show when he cam around last year. The man is incredibly intelligent and his slideshow is friggin hysterical. I have ot say as much as I found the movie interesting and though provoking, I will not be purchasing this on DVD for the regular rotation, but the man does know how to make a statement. In the lines of early John Waters, Lynchian focus and some resemblance to a Harmony Korin movie with no real plot, Glover manages to pressure you into recognizes the comfort of mainstream and what happens to one who has stepped out those bounds. With images of a nazi Shirley Temple, mass snailacide and a starring cast of actors with Down Syndrome, Glover does more than just present a little movie. He makes even the most pretentious liberal NYU grad student rethink their mindsets. The Q&A is not to be missed, or technically really cant.....

and dramatic presentation of his BIG SLIDE SHOW

Glover's new feature It Is Fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!
Friday, February 9 - Sunday, February 11 at 7:30pm!

Renegade auteur Crispin Hellion Glover returns to New York to present his notorious feature WHAT IS IT?, described as "the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home, as tormented by a hubristic racist inner psyche." Its cast is largely comprised of actors with Down's Syndrome, with Glover himself also appearing in the film as an actor in the role of "Dueling Demi-God Auteur and The Young Man's Inner Psyche." One of the movie's snail characters is voiced by Fairuza Balk.

The program also features Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show, an hour-long dramatic narration of eight stories taken from Victorian-era books, plus a Q&A, a book signing and a special sneak preview of scenes from the sequel to WHAT IS IT? -- part two of the 'It' trilogy, Glover's newest film, It is Fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!, which debuted at this year's Sundance.

"For more than 20 years, Crispin Glover, actor, has maintained a truly distinctive, oddball persona, existing on his own plane. Unsurprisingly, his directorial debut, WHAT IS IT? -- which plays as part of a double bill with a live, enthusiastically performed slide show in which Mr. Glover displays pages from his recent series of books -- is just as unclassifiable as he is... Crispin Hellion Glover, auteur, is a force to be reckoned with." - Laura Kern, The New York Times
