Provocative, political and pants-splittingly funny, David Cross has made a name for himself as one of America’s must-see alternative comedians. He’s also a successful actor who has appeared in TV shows ranging from Mr. Show to Arrested Development, and in movies ranging from Waiting for Guffman to Alvin and the Chipmunks. Now, as the featured guest in Modern School of Film’s ongoing In: Pictures live event series, Cross discusses three cinematic works that he is a fan of, and that have helped shape his singular view of art and life. The three films Cross will talk about include Quadrophenia, American Beauty and Her, with clips from each work informing this lively discussion at Chicago’s Thalia Hall with one of comedy’s brightest minds.
