Jonathan Demme, André Gregory, and Wallace Shawn
discuss bringing their interpretation of Henrik Ibsen’s “The Master
Builder” to the screen. This Ibsen classic tells the tale of a
successful, egomaniacal architect who has spent a lifetime bullying his
wife, employees, and mistresses, and who wants to make peace with
himself as his life approaches its final act. Wallace Shawn, who wrote
the screenplay, plays the cruel, guilt-ridden architect. Director
Jonathan Demme based his direction on the stage production by André
Gregory. The film “A Master Builder” premiers at July 23 at Film Forum.
