Diary of Madmen
109 mins
Synopsis:
Part of the Artists in Exile series, DIARY OF MADMEN is the work of visionary director Dmitry Krymov — an ode to theater as both escape and salvation from a collapsing world. In this personal work, two acclaimed actors, Chulpan Khamatova and Maksim Sukhanov, portray artists confronting the loss of their familiar lives and the meaning of their craft. As madness and despair close in, Krymov insists on the power of resistance, of laughter and love, and of art as the last refuge of inner freedom.
