It’s a tribute to Henrik Ibsen that his writings continue to be relevant and provocative today as they were more than a hundred years ago.
In commemoration of one hundred years after the passing of Norway’s most famous playwright, the Norwegian embassy in Manila held a special screening last Wednesday of a modern adaptation of Ibsen’s “Enemy of the People.”
Ambassador Stale Forstein Risa said the 2004 movie adaptation of Ibsen’s 1882 play has been entered in the Norwegian movie festival. It’s actually the fourth rendition in film. The first two were done in the United States (the 1978 movie starred Steve McQueen) and in 1989, in India.
