Crispin Hellion Glover at IFC Center. Crispin Glover presents both his “Big Slide Show,” screens the film he produced and directed It is Fine! Everything is Fine! and also gives a very thoughtful talk afterward. I saw this Monday night, and it was one of the most thought-provoking filmic experiences I’ve had in a while.
