"In the 1960's, legendary Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset commissioned original screenplays from several literary giants, including Harold Pinter, Marguerite Duras, and Eugene Ionesco. Only Samuel Beckett's Film was produced. Recently, Rosset commissioned Chicago film and video maker James Fotopoulos to create a digital video of Ionesco's previously unproduced screenplay The Hard- Boiled Egg. This new work is fascinating and quite remarkable. Fotopoulos was scrupulously faithful to the original screenplay, with its dry wit and absurdity, yet it's also unmistakably a work by Fotopoulos, with his dynamic yet minimal visual style intact."
