A MASTER BUILDER
Directed by Jonathan Demme
With Wallace Shawn, Julie Hagerty, Lisa Joyce, André Gregory
USA, 2013, 103 minutes
As the film opens, architect Halvard Solness, a despicable megalomaniac, lies dying. It soon becomes clear that Halvard is also a paranoid control freak who terrorizes everyone he comes in contact with. Halvard must choose a successor to his business; his talented assistant is the obvious choice, but Halvard is loath to bestow this on him. Halvard's final hours are fraught with ghosts past and present, and a reluctance to admit that he is less than superhuman.
"Demme, following in the footsteps of the late Louis Malle, takes a spare, direct approach to the material his economy pays off in quiet eloquence..." Stephanie Zacaharek, Village Voice
"As both an actor and a playwright, Wallace Shawn, at his most audacious, goes for the jugular, but in sneaky roundabout ways." Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"Gregory and Demme have turned A Master Builder into (pardon my invoking the name of a Strindberg work) a dream play, and have made it once more madly, bitingly, chillingly alive" David Edelstein, New York Magazine
