I will undoubtedly be watching this as soon as I can get my hands on a DVD copy.  I personally, just from what I have read, find Ibsen to be a genius.  It is quite brave for him to test the boundaries of society in the times.  I was quite shocked to learn that Ibsen and his entire family were forced to move out of town as blow-back from this play.  That in and of itself speaks volumes in favor of the play's preservation.  I understand that in a Norwegian setting it was rejected at the time.  Do you think the play's reception may have been different had it been released in America?
