To Stay Alive: A Method

In this thought-provoking documentary, real-life figures from Michel Houellebecq's life recount their own struggles as artists and confront the dark themes of his 1991 essay "To Stay Alive". Featuring Iggy Pop, who lends voice to the original text, the film is a poignant exploration of mental health, creativity, and the fragility of the human condition. Through intimate portraits and evocative spoken word, To Stay Alive: A Method offers a deeply personal and unflinching look at the lives of those on the fringes of society.
