Aside from being the clumsy, passive, patriarch of the McFly Family, or the king of his own rat colony in "Willard," Crispin Glover has made a name for himself as a director. I'm sure that working with subversive filmmakers like David Lynch, Jim Jarmush, Oliver Stone, and Gus Van Sant helped to construct his directorial debut that will be playing this week at the Oak St. Cinema.
"What is It?" is the story of young man who struggles internally, and externally in the world. His primary interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home. A majority of the characters have down syndrome, however, this film is not about the disability, and features Crispin Glover's voice who torments his star as the racist inner psyche. If you are a fan of the surreal and bizarre experimental film of David Lynch or Jim Jarmusch, I'm sure you will enjoy this film.
A Q&A and book signing will follow the screening, as I'm sure there will be lots to talk about after seeing what promises to be a mind trip of a movie.

"What is it?" is right my friends. I've been reading about this movie for years now, and I'm still not really sure what I'll see if I go watch the movie this weekend, which I most likely will not.
I've seen tons of interviews with Crispin about this movie, and he makes it sound interesting, but that's what Directors do.
When I saw Brown Bunny at the Uptown, and Vincent Gallo was there to talk about it, I thought, "hmm... he makes it sound way better that it was", which was pretty 90 minutes of Gallo driving around, making out, then finally getting his dick sucked on film.
