A summer drought lingers*:

Wallace Shawn teams with Jonathan Demme to film an Ibsen play, "A Master Builder."

A Norwegian view of the eternally adolescent grown man, "The Almost Man."

Alex Gibney has been hit-and-miss with his documentaries, but we're interested in his take on the Nigerian singing star, "Finding Fela."

A doc following the live of three poor teenage boys in Missouri, "Rich Hill."

An odd little drama out of Berlin, "The Strange Little Cat."

A documentary about  the inspiration behind "Dog Day Afternoon," John Wojtowicz, "The Dog."

A portrait of the Iranian artist Bahman Mohassess, "Fifi Howls From Happiness."
