Stanislavsky. Lust for life

This documentary explores the life and work of Konstantin Sergeievich Stanislavski, a twentieth-century theatre genius who managed to stay true to his artistic vision within the Soviet system. Contemporary theater and film directors, including Lev Dodin, Declan Donnellan, and Katie Mitchell, reflect on how Stanislavski's method influences their own work, finding themselves in the mirror of his genius. The film raises questions about whether modern theatre truly needs Stanislavski, ultimately revealing that art lacks its most essential part – the human being.
