Woe to Wit or Eisenstein and Meyerhold: a Two-fold Portrait in the Interior of the Epoch (2003)

NR | Jan 01, 2003 (RU) | Documentary | 00:53

The film is about the complex, passionate and at the same time deeply respectful relationship between two genius directors, a teacher (Meyerhold) and a student (Eisenstein). In the most difficult conditions of the totalitarian regime, adherence to eternal values helped both defend their art and themselves in it, preserve honor and dignity. Their relationship, creative and everyday actions are not only an artistic, but also a moral testament to future generations.
