i'd like to get your thoughts on "What Is It?", the movie Glover directed that has actors with Downs Syndrome...i've not seen it, have you? and...is it available on video or dvd?

    i have seen it, he screened a rough cut at a theater here in denver when he toured. it was quite strange and extremley disturbing. people with down's syndrome masturbating each other, an attractive woman wearing only a gorilla mask masturbating an old man....bugs getting squished...etc. not really much sense of a narrative...just more like watching a movie and constantly going 'what the fuck?' a good experience, tho. i found that his readings from rat-catching and oak mot were the the absolute high point of the tour. totally entertaining. dunno if i would say the same about his movie....i would class it along the lines of a film like begotten...it wasnt necessarily entertaining, but i feel better for having watched it.

    I saw it in Portland Oregon and it had a very dreamy feel to it...the downs angels were bizarre, but over all it was very engaging....it is a lot like reading one of his books..Hope you can land a copy! Peace
