This is Paul’s fantasy, of course, and what he is saying within it is painful, honest, awful and makes “It Is Fine!” as much a psychological horror film as it is an exercise in midnight movie madness.
Likewise Linda’s nubile daughter Karma (Carrie Szlasa), a drunken model (Jami Farrell) and more.Īlthough Paul’s speech is unintelligible to us, each of the women he meets understands exactly what he says they often find him wildly attractive.
Staring at a picture of his mother, Paul begins a reverie in which he launches a romance with exotic divorcee Linda Barnes (Fassbinder star Margit Carstensen), whom he seduces and murders. The staging of scenes in “It Is Fine!” strive for Lynchian oddity in their depth of field and incongruous angles, and the sight of the helpless Paul is relatively benign, compared to what’s to come. In this follow-up to Glover’s earlier “What Is It?” (2005), Stewart plays Paul Baker, whom we first meet splayed out on the floor of rehabilitation facility, his wheelchair tipped over and an elderly, fish-eyed woman staring on with pronounced disinterest.
