Movie tonight, becoming a bit of a Wednesday routine (the boy calls it IFN, for Independent Film Night). So we see Marwencol - The embedded trailer below. Shot on Super 8, it's a brilliant documentary tracing - in his own words - one man's recovery from a beating that left him brain damaged and unable to function normally. Shot on a Super 8, it probably cost less than $10, 000 to make, and offers easily a thousand times the value of a film that cost a thousand times as much to make. See it while it's still at the Uptown.

And 2 plays in a single day, although this wasn't so much a play as a visual interpretation of the music of Tom Waits. Brilliant and highly imaginative.

The boy brought me and I was annoyed, I was looking for the break from coding, a couple of hours by myself reading my book, making notes, of all the HPR productions this is the one I most wanted to see, but not with all the work that needed doing.... My mistake.
It was excellent. Pure magic - imaginative script, singing, dancing, staging. This is why you go to the Theatre!!.

And there's this house, closed for a hundred years....

It sounds like the beginning of a Tim Burton movie, or a scary Urban Legend; a French mansion sealed off for 100 years is now opened to the public....
