Viddy Well Recommends: What Is It?

April 07, 2019  /  Aaron Haughton

itisfineh.jpg

What Is It? is a bewildering, unnerving, surreal, darkly comic film from the singularly bizarre mind of Crispin Hellion Glover, who many know as George McFly from Back to the Future. The film is the first entry in a planned trilogy directed by Glover, followed by It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. and continued with the yet to be released It Is Mine. It won’t disappoint fans of Glover’s offbeat sensibilities and eccentric taste, but it’s likely to repel just about everyone else with its many blatant affronts to political correctness.

Viddy Well Recommends: It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine.

April 06, 2019  /  Aaron Haughton

Screen+Shot+2019-04-05+at+4.22.44+PM.png

It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. is a spiritual sequel to Crispin Hellion Glover’s debut, What Is It?, and it’s part 2 of what will eventually be a trilogy. Working from a script by Steven C. Stewart (who also stars in the film), Glover and co-director David Brothers (who also created the film’s sets) cultivate an incredibly powerful slice of experimental cinema that’s a fascinating blend of the autobiographical and the fantastical.

Viddy Well Recommends: Marty

February 19, 2019  /  Aaron Haughton

unnamed.jpg

Marty is a bittersweet, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always realistic comedy-drama. Enormously influential, it spawned Hollywood's interest in smaller scale, prosaic dramas, few of which failed to match its resonance. Incredibly warm, human and oozing from the pores with tenderness, the film was rightfully awarded the Oscar for Best Picture in 1955 and is just as crisp today as it was then.

Viddy Well Recommends: Buffalo '66

February 09, 2019  /  Aaron Haughton

maxresdefault.jpg

Writer, director, star, and all around ego manic Vincent Gallo’s 1998 directorial debut is a magical experience. Self-consciously stylized and accessibly experimental, Buffalo ‘66 is a one of a kind, infinitely quotable, idiosyncratic dark comedy romance that you’ll definitely want to “span” time with.
