‘The Blue Caftan’ celebrates love in all its colors
Love is such a precious gift, one that often seems elusive to those looking for it. But it’s out there if we know where to search for it, and that usually begins inside each of us. Unfortunately, when we find it, we frequently don’t recognize it for what it is or we unduly place obstacles in our own way that keep us from embracing it.

Wrapping Up the 2023 CEUFF Film Festival
If it’s March, it wouldn’t be complete without the Gene Siskel Film Center Chicago European Union Film Festival. After several years of adjustment, abbreviation and cancellation due to COVID-19 concerns, the festival finally returned to normal form this year for its 26th annual edition.

My Oscar Rant
Congratulations on finally putting together a show that was worth watching -- for the first time in a number of years. Bringing back Jimmy Kimmel as host was a good move, as was restoring live presentations of all the awards. The look of the show was also quite appealing. Well done.
