Gregory’s tale-spinning fluency dazzles just as much as it did in Louis Malle’s “My Dinner With Andre,” but this time with a wry familiarity all Kleine’s own. Shot at home or in various improvised rehearsal spaces — with much photographic evidence of Gregory’s sterile, unhappy childhood, as well as occasional clips from “My Dinner With Andre” and the other filmed Gregory/Wallace Shawn collaboration, “Vanya on 42nd Street” — the film juxtaposes work and biography with wondrous open-endedness, and should enchant fans as well as those new to the table.
