July 21, 2010 – (Above) Downtown landmark Vincent Falk poses with a visitor from Buffalo Grove on the State Street Bridge on Saturday. As both Falk and a UIC retina specialist report modest improvement in his eyesight, the documentary about Falk is scheduled to return to the Gene Siskel Film Center this Friday. Vincent: A Life In Color will run July 23 through July 29. Falk and the film’s director, Jennifer Burns, will lead an audience discussion at the screening on Friday. The film center, meanwhile, is offering a two-for-one special to anyone wearing a “colorful” suit. (Photo by Stewart Campbell.)
