A Master Builder is a really special film running for just a few more days at the Gene Siskel Film Center. So I urge you to see it, if you are fond of the work of Henrik Ibsen, of Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, of Jonathon Demme, or of great filmmaking in general. Check out my review on Gapers Block, where the headline is: A Master Builder: A Claustrophobic Stew of Lust, Ambition, Ego and Envy.
Chicago actor Lisa Joyce is hardly an unknown, but her performance here as the bewitching Hilde is stunning. In fact, the ensemble of seven actors is excellent.
There are rumors that A Master Builder will be added to the Criterion Collection of famous Shawn/Gregory collaborations, which now include My Dinner with Andre and Vanya on 42nd Street. That would be in the Buy It category for me.

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your
blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for
me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your
theme? Excellent work!

My blog is built on the free version of WordPress, with the Clean Home theme. Very user-friendly. I had a little advice early on about images, but you can surely do it yourself. No developer needed. WP has dozens of themes to choose from.
